Soft and Fluffy Herb-Infused Flatbreads

Ingredients:

• 1 teaspoon instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup warm water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon melted butter (optional)
• Extra flour for dusting

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:
   In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Gradually add the warm water and olive oil, stirring with a wooden spoon or hand mixer until a dough begins to form.
2. Knead the Dough:
   Lightly flour a clean surface and knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until it becomes soft and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, gradually add more flour until smooth and manageable.
3. Let the Dough Rise:
   Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
4. Shape the Flatbreads:
   Once the dough has risen, gently punch it down. Divide it into 8-10 equal portions and roll each portion into a small ball. Then, flatten each ball into a circle about 1/4 inch thick.
5. Cook the Flatbreads:
   Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Place each flatbread onto the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and puffed. The flatbread should have a few brown spots and be slightly crispy on the outside while remaining soft on the inside.
6. Brush with Butter and Herbs:
   Once the flatbreads are cooked, brush them with melted butter (if using) and sprinkle the chopped parsley on top for a burst of fresh herb flavor.

Enjoy these soft, fluffy, and flavorful flatbreads as a perfect snack or accompaniment to any meal!
