• Garlic powder infuses a warm, robust flavor and a bit of tang to the flatbread.
• Fresh minced garlic delivers a bold, natural taste and supports immune health in delicious ways.

Ingredient Quantities

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

How to Make this

1. Mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder in a large bowl.

6. Once the pan is hot, pour about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of batter into the pan and spread it out gently with a spatula.

7. Cook the flatbread for about 3 to 4 minutes on the first side, until you see bubbles along the edges.

8. Flip it carefully using a spatula and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until it’s lightly browned.

FAQ

No Knead Garlic Flatbread Recipe With Liquid Batter (No Dough) Substitutions and Variations

• For 2 cups all-purpose flour: you can use bread flour, spelt flour, or a gluten free all-purpose blend in the same amount, though the texture may come out a bit different.
• For 2 teaspoons baking powder: try mixing 1/4 teaspoon baking soda with 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar if you dont have any baking powder handy. The rise might vary a tad.
• For 1/2 teaspoon salt: you can substitute with kosher or sea salt, but keep in mind that you may need to tweak the amount based on how fine or coarse it is.
• For 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder: you could swap that for an extra clove of minced garlic or even a small amount of roasted garlic to amp up the flavor.
• For 2 tablespoons olive oil: melted butter or vegetable oil can be used as a direct replacement. Theyll give you slightly different tasting results but should work just fine.

Pro Tips

1. Let the batter sit for a few minutes before cooking so the flavors have a chance to blend a bit; this helps the garlic infuse the flatbread really well.
2. If your batter looks too thick, don’t be afraid to add a little more water. Sometimes the flour types can vary and it might need just a splash extra to get it just right.
3. Heat your pan on medium heat and make sure it’s well-oiled but not swimming in oil; a thin coat works better and keeps the flatbread from getting too greasy.
4. Watch for little bubbles forming on the edges before you flip the flatbread and be gentle when flipping it because it can sometimes tear if you’re too rough.
