Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons active dry yeast

1 teaspoon granulated sugar

1 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

3/4 cup warm water (about 110°F)

4 cloves garlic, finely minced

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional for a bit of spice)

Sea salt, for garnishing

Instructions
 

Activate the Yeast: In a small mixing bowl, combine the warm water (ensure it's around 110°F), sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently to dissolve the yeast, then let it sit undisturbed for about 5-10 minutes. You should see a frothy layer forming on top—it’s ready when it's bubbly!

    Make the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and salt. Create a well in the center of the flour mixture, then pour in the activated yeast mixture along with the olive oil. Using a wooden spoon or your hands, combine the ingredients until a shaggy dough begins to form.

      Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a well-floured surface. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes, or until it’s smooth and elastic to the touch. Form the kneaded dough into a ball, place it in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm area until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

        Prepare Garlic Mixture: While the dough is rising, prepare the garlic mixture. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, finely chopped parsley, and a pinch of red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well and set aside to allow the flavors to meld.

          Shape the Flatbreads: After the dough has risen, gently punch it down to release the air. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then use your hands or a rolling pin to flatten each ball until it reaches a thickness of about 1/4 inch.

            Cook the Flatbreads: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Once hot, place one flatbread in the pan. Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the flatbread puffs up and develops a beautiful golden brown color. Immediately brush the hot flatbread with the garlic butter mixture and sprinkle lightly with sea salt.

              Repeat Cooking: Continue this process with the remaining flatbreads. Be sure to brush each one with the garlic butter mixture as soon as it comes off the skillet for maximum flavor.

                Serve: Enjoy your golden brown garlic flatbreads warm. They are perfect for dipping into your favorite sauces, pairing with various dishes, or simply savoring on their own!
