Equipment
- 1 Baking Sheet lined with parchment paper
- 1 Mixing Bowl large
- 1 Rolling Pin
Ingredients
Flatbread Dough
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
Garlic Butter Topping
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese grated
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy. Add olive oil, salt, and half the flour. Mix well and gradually add the remaining flour until a dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out the risen dough to your desired thickness and transfer it to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter with minced garlic. Brush this mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.
- Sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan cheese generously over the dough.
Serving
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. Let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Storage
- Store any leftover flatbread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes before serving.
