Garlic Butter Topping:

Instructions

  1. Mix the dough: In a large bowl, combine spelt flour, baking powder, and salt. Add yogurt and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms, adding a little water if dry.
  2. Knead: Lightly flour a surface and knead the dough for 2–3 minutes until smooth.
  3. Divide: Cut into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten into a round about ¼-inch thick.
  4. Cook: Heat a non-stick pan or skillet over medium heat. Cook each flatbread for 1–2 minutes per side until golden spots appear.
  5. Make garlic butter: In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, and a pinch of salt.
  6. Brush: Immediately brush the hot flatbreads with garlic butter before serving.
