- Prepare the Flatbread Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and sugar. Make a well in the center and add the olive oil and warm water.
- Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix the ingredients together until a rough dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rest for 30 minutes to 1 hour, allowing it to rise slightly.
- Preheat the Oven:
- While the dough is resting, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a baking sheet or pizza stone in the oven to preheat as well.
- Roll Out the Dough:
- After the dough has rested, divide it into two equal portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each portion of dough into a thin circle or oval shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Prepare the Garlic Butter Topping:
- In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, melted butter, chopped fresh parsley, dried oregano, and dried thyme. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and mix well to combine.
- Top the Flatbread:
- Place the rolled-out dough on a piece of parchment paper or a lightly floured pizza peel.
- Brush the garlic butter topping evenly over the surface of the dough, making sure to cover it completely.
- Bake the Flatbread:
- Carefully transfer the flatbread (still on the parchment paper or pizza peel) to the preheated baking sheet or pizza stone in the oven.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the flatbread is golden brown and crispy around the edges.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Remove the flatbread from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing it into wedges or squares.
- Serve the Garlic and Butter Flatbread warm, as a standalone snack or alongside your favorite dips, spreads, or soups.
