For this recipe, I wanted something tastier than what you find in stores. I wanted it so flavorful that I could happily enjoy it as is. That’s how my flatbread dough, complete with plenty of minced garlic and freshly chopped thyme for that minty aroma, was born. 🤤 Combining that kind of enhanced dough with skillet cooking gives you pure heaven. Cooking dough in a skillet leaves those flavorful, beautiful golden brown sear marks on the bread. It delivers that special something you can’t get from oven-baked bread. Flatbread recipes have different names and variations across cultures. East Africans enjoy chapati, Indians have naan, and our Trinidad friends love buss up shut paratha roti. Try saying that three times fast. 😂

Make-Ahead Instructions
You can make the dough ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to three days. For an easier make-ahead meal, you can make the recipe as usual but only partially cook the flatbread. When you’re ready to cook them, simply pop them in a heated skillet and finish the job. You can also freeze partially cooked flatbread in a ziplock bag with the air squeezed out for up to 3 months.
Serving and Storage Instructions
Serve flatbread warm, fresh out of the frying pan if possible. If you have leftovers, refrigerate them in an airtight container for up to a week. They’ll last at room temperature for 2-3 days. Reheat them in a skillet set to medium heat until just heated through, or enjoy them at room temperature. 👌
What Goes With Flatbread
Delicious yeast flatbread recipes were meant for stuffing. Try it with avocado white bean tuna salad, pulled pork and coleslaw, or chicken shawarma. You could also serve it as a side to any curry. I especially like it with chickpea curry.
