Ingredients for 4 Servings:
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup water
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Additional salt, to taste
Directions:

Prepare the Dough: Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Gradually add water, stirring until a soft dough forms. Knead on a floured surface until smooth, then let it rest for 15 minutes.

Shape and Cook: Divide the dough into four pieces, rolling each into a thin round. Cook in a medium-hot skillet until bubbly and golden, then keep wrapped in a towel to stay warm.

Add Flavor: Melt butter in the skillet, sauté garlic until aromatic, and brush the mixture over each flatbread.

Serve: Garnish with parsley and a sprinkle of salt.

Variations & Tips:

Enhance with cheese: Brush with garlic butter, then add Parmesan or Asiago for a cheesy delight.

Opt for whole wheat flour for a heartier texture.

Use store-bought pizza dough for a quick alternative, rolling it thin and cooking as directed.

Add red pepper flakes to the garlic butter for a spicy kick.

Best enjoyed fresh, but reheat wrapped in foil at 350°F if needed.
