Instructions

Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add warm water or milk, stirring until a smooth dough forms that’s soft but not sticky. Knead gently on a floured surface for about 2 minutes to develop the right texture.
Shape the Flatbreads: Divide the dough into golf ball-sized portions. Use a rolling pin to flatten each into roughly 1/4-inch thick rounds, keeping them uniform in size for even cooking.
Make the Garlic Butter Mixture: Melt the unsalted butter gently in a pan over low heat. Add finely minced fresh garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Cook the Flatbreads: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Brush one side of each flatbread lightly with the garlic butter, then place it butter-side down on the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and the bottom is golden. Flip and brush the other side with garlic butter. Cook for another 2 minutes until fully golden and cooked through.
Garnish and Serve: Optionally, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley or additional minced garlic on top before serving. Serve warm to enjoy the buttery, garlicky flavor at its best.

Notes

Use fresh garlic for the best vibrant flavor.
Do not overcrowd the pan; cook 1-2 flatbreads at a time for even crispiness.
Melt butter gently over low heat to avoid burning and bitterness.
Let the dough rest for 10 minutes after mixing to relax gluten and ease rolling.
Maintain medium heat to cook flatbreads through without burning.
