Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup plain yogurt (preferably full fat)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 tablespoons butter (unsalted)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Make the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients. - Add Wet Ingredients
Add the yogurt and olive oil to the flour mixture. Use a spoon or your hands to bring the dough together. Knead for about 3-4 minutes until the dough becomes soft, smooth, and slightly sticky. If it feels too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time until the texture is right. - Rest the Dough
Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rest for 20-30 minutes at room temperature. This allows the gluten to relax, making the dough easier to roll out later. - Prepare Garlic Butter
While the dough rests, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, just until fragrant. Do not let the garlic brown. Remove from heat and set aside. - Roll Out the Flatbreads
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a thin oval or round flatbread, about 1/4 inch thick. - Add Cheese and Garlic Butter
Brush each flatbread with the prepared garlic butter, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the top, pressing lightly so the cheese sticks to the dough. - Cook the Flatbreads
Heat a nonstick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat. Place a flatbread, cheese side up, on the dry skillet. Cover with a lid and cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the underside is golden brown and the cheese on top is melted. If you like crispier bottoms, let it cook a little longer uncovered. Repeat with the remaining flatbreads. - Garnish and Serve
Once all the flatbreads are cooked, brush them with any remaining garlic butter. Sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired for added color and freshness. Serve warm for the best cheesy, buttery experience.
These buttery garlic cheese flatbreads are ideal for dipping in garlic sauce, pairing with soups, or enjoying as a standalone snack.
