Roasted Garlic Flatbread

I have stuck to my resolution to bake more bread. I have decided to start with a very easy bread that doesn’t take long to rise or bake- flatbread. I loved eating the flatbreads while working at Noodles and Company, if I had known they were this easy to make I would have made them at home earlier!

roasted garlic flatbread recipeThis baked flatbread recipe is great because it can serve so many purposes. They can be topped with practially any sort of toppings for an appetizer, they can serve as a base for a pizza, they can be used as the bread for a sandwich and so many more things!

This particular recipe is for a roasted garlic flatbread, with is delicious just as is with a little olive oil drizzled over the top, but you can omit the garlic and toppings and use it for whatever you would like.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 1/2 to 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 8 cloves garlic chopped
  • 2 tbsp basil chopped
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine the yeast, water, 1 tsp salt and 1 tbsp olive oil and let stand until bubbles begin to form (about 5 minutes).
  • Gradually in 3 1/2 cups flour until the dough has formed.
  • Knead the dough on a floured surface until it no longer feels sticky, adding additional flour if necessary (about 5-10 minutes).
  • Place the ball of dough into a bowl with 1 tbsp olive oil, coat with oil, cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in size (about 35-45 minutes).
  • Punch the dough to flatten, cut into four pieces, cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 10 minutes. Preheat the oven to 450F.
  • Gently stretch each flatbread into a 13x7 inch oval and place on a greased baking sheet.
  • Sprinkle each flatbread with garlic, basil, salt and pepper then drizzle with remaining olive oil.
  • Bake at 450F until golden around the edges (about 10 minutes). NOTE: If garlic begins to burn, lower temperature to 400F for the last few minutes.

    Amazing bread. Everything with garlic is good in my book. Roasted garlic is even better!

    The only thing better than roasted garlic is MORE roasted garlic. I want some of this right now. No sharesies.

    This looks very good. I agree with Julia why would anyone delete the garlic. I also want to say that I think your blog is fantastic. Over the last couple of months I seem to be picking more recipes from here than just about any other site I visit. Keep up the good work.

    Oooh sounds delish! I’ve tried making bread and half the time it doesn’t turn out as lovely as I thought it would. This recipe seems simple enough, and I LOVE roasted garlic! yum!

  • Angela@RecipesFromMyMom June 28, 2011 at 6:39 pm -

    Good for you that you’re sticking with your promise to bake bread! This is a great one and luckily my husband loves garlic as much as I do so we can roast away and not worry about our kissy breath :]

  • Deborah Dowd June 29, 2011 at 3:32 am -

    Mmmm Flatbreads and garlic, what a great combination. It looks great. I recently made some swedish flatbreads – knäckebröd.

  • Eliot June 29, 2011 at 7:37 am -

    I just pulled lots of garlic from the garden and I love baking bread. It is really hard to screw up flatbread (that is why I like it!!!) Thanks for the recipe!

  • kankana June 29, 2011 at 11:36 am -

    Garlic is my fav and I can never cook without garlic. This flat bread looks lovely.

  • Caroline June 29, 2011 at 11:42 am -

    I bet that is great with a nice crisp salad

  • klucas June 30, 2011 at 7:25 am -

    I think I would add a bit of Parmesan cheese. We make these on the BBQ in the summer time. I make the dough slightly more wet and grease the grill.

    Was the garlic roasted before you put it on the flatbread? It certainly looks that way in the picture, but the recipe isn’t clear.

  • jacque June 30, 2011 at 10:15 am -

    your recipes look wonderful. can u put the nutritional value on them also it would be a great help. Thanks J can’t wait to try them

  • Kate@Diethood June 30, 2011 at 11:36 am -

    Congrats on Top 9!! This flatbread sounds fabulous! The more garlic, the better. 🙂

    I just made this, and it turned out DELICIOUS! Thanks again for a great recipe!

  • Savour the Senses July 1, 2011 at 2:48 pm -

    Mine was, but i think it would be fine if you just cut the garlic into smaller pieces and baked it unroasted.

  • Bergenser July 2, 2011 at 8:07 am -

    Wow,this looks easy, I will have to give it a try. I love garlic too, but should I roast it before it goes on the bread, or does it get roasted in the oven as the bread bakes with it?

    This sounds wonderful (and the photos are great)!

  • Savour the Senses July 2, 2011 at 5:04 pm -

    You can roast is before hand if you want large chunks of garlic, like I had. Or, you can chop the garlic into smaller pieces and just let it roast with the bread.

  • Savour the Senses July 2, 2011 at 7:54 pm -

    Great to hear! =)

  • Savour the Senses July 2, 2011 at 7:55 pm -

    I will try to put nutritional information when possible. It is a bit time consuming to calculate, so I usually only do it for the healthier dishes, but I will try! =)

  • kris July 3, 2011 at 10:52 am -

    how many points for the bread?

  • Savour the Senses July 3, 2011 at 11:11 am -

    I am not sure how the WW points system works, but I have added nutritional information at the end of the recipe. Hope that helps. =)

  • Savour the Senses July 3, 2011 at 11:12 am -

    Hi Jacque, just wanted to let you know that I have added the nutritional information for this flatbread at the end of the recipe. =)

    It’s in the oven right now and the aroma is SO good I’m about to reach in and grab it with my bare hands.
    SO GOOD!

  • kita July 7, 2011 at 1:34 pm -

    Garlic and bread. Does it get any better than that? I know this would be gone in one guilt ridden sitting at our house.

  • dlacey July 8, 2011 at 6:47 pm -

    This looks delicious. I think I’ll try it with a little bacon on it, and maybe an egg for breakfast tomorrow.

  • Jesse @ Happy Go Lucky Vegan July 25, 2011 at 3:57 pm -

    This looks great! I would love to dip it in some home-made hummus. Yum!

  • GastroStu August 22, 2011 at 2:28 am -

    Great looking flatbreads, I might give this a go tonight.

  • Marcia August 23, 2011 at 1:15 pm -

    They must have been brainwashed. It’s the only logical answer!
