Description
Discover a simple and flavorful Rosemary Garlic Flatbread with Sea Salt recipe. Perfect for appetizers or side dishes, with a crispy, tender texture.
Ingredients
For the Dough:
2¼ tsp (1 packet) active dry yeast
¾ cup (180 ml) warm water (about 100°F / 38°C)
1 tsp honey or sugar
2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour (plus more for dusting)
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp olive oil (plus more for brushing)
For the Topping:
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced or finely grated
1 tbsp fresh rosemary leaves, finely chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
Flaky sea salt, to finish
Instructions
1. Activate the Yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and honey. Stir gently and let sit for 5–10 minutes, until foamy.
2. Make the Dough
In a large bowl (or stand mixer with a dough hook), mix flour and salt.
Add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Knead for about 6–8 minutes (by hand or mixer) until smooth and elastic.
Lightly oil a clean bowl, place the dough inside, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
3. Prepare the Topping
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, and chopped rosemary. Let sit while the dough rises to infuse the oil.
4. Shape the Flatbread
Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 2–3 pieces (depending on desired size).
Roll each piece out on a floured surface into an oval or rustic rectangle, about ¼ inch thick.
5. Assemble
Place the rolled dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet (or directly on the hot stone).
Brush generously with the rosemary-garlic oil mixture, including the bits of garlic and herbs.
Sprinkle lightly with flaky sea salt.
6. Bake
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until puffed, golden, and crisp around the edges.
7. Serve
Brush lightly with more olive oil if desired. Slice into wedges and serve warm.
Notes
Crispy on the edges and soft in the center, this fragrant flatbread is perfect alongside soups, salads, or dips. Serve it warm with olive oil for dipping, or use it as a base for your favorite toppings.
