Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 cups (480g) all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups (300ml) water
- 7 ounces (200g) butter
- 3 onions
Fresh Herbs and Seasonings:
- 5 ounces (150g) parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Black pepper, to taste
Cooking Oil:
- Olive oil
Instructions
- Create a smooth, pliable dough by combining flour and salt, gradually incorporating water and mixing until a cohesive texture forms.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead vigorously for 5 minutes, developing gluten and achieving an elastic consistency. Allow the dough to rest, covered, for 10 minutes to relax the gluten.
- Divide the rested dough into small, uniform portions and roll each piece into thin, circular shapes using gentle, even pressure.
- Preheat a skillet to medium-high temperature and lightly coat with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook each flatbread for 1-2 minutes per side, watching for golden-brown spots and ensuring complete cooking throughout the dough.
- In a separate pan, melt butter over medium heat, creating a fragrant base for the herb mixture.
- Add finely chopped parsley, thinly sliced onions, and freshly ground black pepper to the melted butter, sautéing until the onions become soft, translucent, and release their aromatic flavors.
- Plate the warm, freshly cooked flatbreads and generously top with the herbed butter mixture, serving immediately to maintain optimal temperature and texture.
Notes
- Make extra dough in advance and refrigerate for quick morning breakfasts, saving precious time during busy mornings.
- Swap wheat flour with gluten-free alternatives like chickpea or almond flour for those with dietary restrictions, ensuring everyone can enjoy these delicious flatbreads.
- Add minced garlic or dried herbs like thyme and rosemary to the dough for an extra flavor boost that elevates the entire dish.
- Use a cast-iron skillet for perfectly crispy edges and more even cooking, creating restaurant-quality flatbreads right in your kitchen.
