2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup warm water
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Directions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the warm water and olive oil, stirring until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Roll out the dough into a thin oval or rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
Place the rolled dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic with a bit of olive oil, then spread it evenly over the dough.
Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Variations & Tips
For a bit of a kick, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic mixture before spreading it on the dough. If you’re a fan of herbs, try adding some dried oregano or thyme to the dough for extra flavor. For a more indulgent version, top the flatbread with a mix of cheeses like mozzarella and asiago. You can also experiment with adding toppings like sliced tomatoes or olives before baking.
