Garlic Herb Flatbread
1-bowl, 8-ingredient flatbread infused with fresh garlic and minced herbs. Pillowy, soft, tender, and perfect for wraps or dipping.
Servings 6 (flatbreads)
Ingredients
- 1 packet active dry yeast (1 packet yields 2 1/4 tsp)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (2 cloves yield ~1 Tbsp or 6 g)
- 1 Tbsp minced herbs (rosemary and thyme)
- 3/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp organic cane sugar
- 1 ¼ cups Bob’s Red Mill Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
- 3/4 cup Bob’s Red Mill Spelt Flour (or sub more all purpose)
- 1 Tbsp olive oil (plus more for coating bowl)
- 3/4 cup warm water*
Instructions
- To a large mixing bowl, add yeast, garlic, herbs, sea salt, organic cane sugar, all-purpose flour, and spelt flour and whisk.
- Make a well in the dry ingredients and add olive oil and two-thirds of the warm water to start (1/2 cup or 120 ml as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size). Stir with a wooden spoon to mix. Add more water as needed until a dough forms.
- Transfer to a clean, well-floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic - about 2 minutes - adding more flour as needed to prevent sticking.
- Wipe out mixing bowl and add a bit of oil (1 tsp as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size). Roll dough around to coat and position seam-side down in the bowl. Cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap. Set in a warm place to rise for 1 hour.
- Once doubled in size (see photo), cut dough into 6 even pieces (amount as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size), arrange on a clean surface, and lay a damp towel on top. Let rest.
- In the meantime, heat a large skillet (electric or cast iron) to medium-high heat (~375 degrees F/ 190 C).
- One at a time on a lightly floured surface, roll each piece of dough into a large circle that's fairly thin (not paper thin, but less than 1/8th inch thick - see photo).
- Lightly grease preheated skillet and lay down flatbread. Don’t touch, cook for 2 ½ minutes. Flip and cook for 2 ½ minutes on the other side. Repeat, adding more oil to coat surface, until all flatbread is cooked.
- Enjoy immediately, or let cool completely and store in a well-sealed bag or container up to 3 days (though best when fresh).

Notes
*Temperature of water should be about 110 degrees F (43 C) or the temperature of bath water. It shouldn't be too hot to the touch (or it can kill the yeast) or too cool (or it won't activate the yeast).
*Recipe loosely adapted from Food Network.
*If you want to freeze these, we would recommend freezing the dough since the cooked flatbread really is best when fresh.
