Homemade Stove-Baked Flatbreads with Parsley and Garlic | Lipii coapte pe aragaz cu pătrunjel și usturoi, făcute în casă
Ingredients
- 3 cups of flour (for bread, not very full)
- 25 grams of fresh yeast
- 1 tablespoon of sugar
- Lukewarm water (about 400 ml, adjust as needed)
- Salt (to taste)
- 3 tablespoons of olive oil (for the dough)
- Parsley (a handful, finely chopped)
- 3 cloves of garlic (chopped, adjust to taste)
- Olive oil (for the parsley mixture, about 2-3 tablespoons)
Instructions
- Prepare the Yeast
- In a large bowl, add the flour.
- Make a well in the center and add the yeast and sugar.
- In the same measuring cup used for the flour, add about 400 ml of lukewarm water (not hot) and mix gently with a spoon to dissolve the yeast.
- Let the yeast mixture sit for about 10 minutes to activate.
- Prepare the Dough
- After 10 minutes, add salt to the flour mixture.
- Add 3 tablespoons of olive oil and start kneading the dough for about 10 minutes or until it becomes slightly sticky. If needed, you can add a little more flour to help with the consistency.
- Once the dough is ready, cover it with a cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it triples in size.
- Prepare the Parsley and Garlic Mixture
- While the dough is rising, chop the parsley and garlic finely.
- Mix the chopped parsley and garlic with 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Set this mixture aside to infuse.
- Shape and Cook the Flatbreads
- After the dough has risen, divide it into 12 equal parts.
- Roll each part into a small ball, then flatten each ball into a round shape with your hands or a rolling pin.
- Heat a pan on medium-high heat and cook each flatbread in the hot pan. Flip them after a few seconds on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve
- Once the flatbreads are done, brush them with the prepared parsley and garlic mixture while they are still warm.
