fantastic garlic flatbreads

Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes (plus additional time for dough to rise, if using yeast)

Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder (or yeast and sugar if using). Stir to mix.
Add Wet Ingredients: If using yogurt, add the yogurt and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the dry ingredients. If using yeast, add the warm water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour as needed.

Rest the Dough (if using yeast): If you used yeast, place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Prepare the Garlic Oil: In a small saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
Divide and Roll Out the Dough: Divide the dough into 6-8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then roll out each ball into a flat circle, about 1/4 inch thick.

Cook the Flatbreads: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the skillet. Cook each flatbread for 2-3 minutes on each side, until puffed and golden brown.
Brush with Garlic Oil: While the flatbreads are still warm, brush them with the garlic oil and sprinkle with fresh parsley, thyme (if using), and salt and pepper to taste.

For extra flavor, add some grated Parmesan cheese to the garlic oil before brushing the flatbreads.

These flatbreads can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet or oven before serving.
