Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dough Ingredients
  • 3 cups flour (bread or all-purpose) Use bread flour for a chewier texture or all-purpose for softness.
  • 1 teaspoon salt Standard table salt.
  • 1 teaspoon instant yeast Instant yeast helps the dough rise quickly.
  • 1 1/4 cups warm water Water should be warm but not boiling.
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil Use more for brushing.
Finishing Ingredients
  • Flaky salt For finishing on top.
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced Adds flavor.
  • 1 large sprig rosemary, chopped Provides a fragrant touch.
  • 1 large sprig parsley, chopped Adds freshness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, stir together the flour, salt, and yeast.
  2. Make a well in the middle of the bowl and add the warm water and oil. Stir together until the mixture forms a shaggy mass.
  3. If using a stand mixer, use the dough hook and mix on low speed for 3-4 minutes. If mixing by hand, turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until soft and smooth, about 6-8 minutes. If the dough feels sticky, sprinkle on additional flour.
  4. Transfer the kneaded dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it proof for 30-60 minutes until it has almost doubled in volume.
Grilling
  1. While the dough is rising, preheat your grill or grill pan.
  2. After rising, divide the dough into four even pieces using oiled hands.
  3. Smush a clove of minced garlic into each round of dough, ensuring it’s covered with oil on both sides.
  4. Once the grill is ready, place the dough rounds onto the grate with the garlic side up. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side, making sure the bottom is golden before flipping.
  5. When the flatbread is done, brush with olive oil and sprinkle with flaky sea salt and fresh herbs.
  6. Enjoy warm or at room temperature; they are best served warm.

Notes

Leftover flatbreads can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days. For longer storage, freeze in a zip-top bag for up to a month, separating with parchment paper. Reheat in a grilling pan or air fryer for best results.
