Garlic Flatbread

Steps

• Dough: Whisk the flour and yeast together, then stir in the water and oil to form a shaggy dough. Add the salt and knead until smooth.
  ⏱ Start 6 min timer
• Rise: Cover and let rise until roughly doubled.
  ⏱ Start 45 min timer

  Tip: A shorter rise than a full pizza dough — this is meant to bake up soft and tender, not chewy and structured.

• Prep: Heat the oven to 240°C (465°F) with a pizza stone or baking sheet inside.
• Shape: Divide into 4 pieces and roll or stretch each into a rough oval, about 1/4 inch thick.
• Bake: Bake until puffed and lightly charred in spots.
  ⏱ Start 6 min timer
• Finish: Stir the melted butter and raw garlic together and brush generously over the hot flatbreads as soon as they come out, then scatter with parsley and flaky salt if using.

  Tip: Adding the garlic now, off the heat, keeps it tasting bright and fresh rather than turning bitter the way it would if baked or cooked directly.
