Instructions
- Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder, and 1 tsp salt until evenly combined.
- Step 2: Add 3/4 cup warm water and 2 tbsp olive oil to the dry ingredients along with 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, and 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme.
- Step 3: Stir the mixture with a spoon until a rough dough forms, then knead lightly in the bowl or on a floured surface for 3-4 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Step 4: Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each into a 7-inch circle about 1/8-inch thick.

- Step 6: Stack the flatbreads on a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm while cooking the rest.
- Step 7: Serve warm with dips, salads, or use as wraps.
