Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup warm water (about 110°F)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for brushing
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or your favorite herb)

How to Make Herbed Flatbread with Garlic and Cheese
- In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, and salt. Mix well.
- Gradually add the warm water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and place a baking sheet or pizza stone inside to heat up.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into two equal portions.
- Roll each portion out on a floured surface into a flat shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and place the rolled-out flatbreads onto it.
- In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and parsley. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the flatbreads.
- Top the flatbreads with the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese.
- Brush the edges of the flatbreads with olive oil for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the edges are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing into pieces. Enjoy warm!
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure your water is warm but not hot to activate the yeast effectively.
- Feel free to experiment with different herbs like thyme or basil for varied flavor profiles.
- For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes to the garlic mixture.
Easy Variations
- Swap out the mozzarella for feta or goat cheese for a tangier flavor.
- Add sun-dried tomatoes or olives for an extra burst of flavor.
- For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.
What to Serve With It
