Garlic Butter Flatbread

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

¾ cup warm water

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons butter, melted

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Mix the dough:

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

Add warm water and olive oil. Stir until a dough forms, then knead for 2–3 minutes until smooth.

Cover and let rest for 15–20 minutes.

Prepare the garlic butter:

In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, and parsley. Set aside.

Shape the flatbreads:

Divide the dough into 6–8 balls. Roll each one into a thin circle or oval (about ⅛-inch thick).

Cook:

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.

Place a flatbread on the pan and cook for 1–2 minutes per side, until golden brown spots appear.

Brush with garlic butter:

While still warm, brush both sides with the garlic butter mixture. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.

Serve:

Serve warm — perfect with soups, curries, or dips!

The cookbook’s organization by sections is incredibly helpful, and I’m especially impressed by its guidance on portion sizes relative to point values. I wholeheartedly endorse this cookbook for anyone undertaking the Bariatric and Gastric Program in 2024. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to try it for yourself!
