Garlic flatbreads

 These are so simple and so delicious.  You could definitely make them without the garlic if you don't have or you could add other spices, like cumin and coriander.

Garlic Flatbreads
mostly from King Arthur
makes a dozen small (serves 4 easily with veggies and hummus)

3 cups (360g) All-Purpose Flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons table salt
3 tablespoons (35g) olive oil or vegetable oil
1 cup (227g) water
2 to 3 tablespoons (25g to 35g) vegetable oil, additional for frying
3 garlic leaves, finely diced (scissors work great)

Place the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl and stir to combine. Add the oil and ice water, and mix to make a soft, cohesive dough. Adjust with flour or water as needed. The dough should be moist but not sticky. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
Preheat a heavy-bottomed pan. Add 1 tablespoon oil and heat until the oil starts to shimmer in the pan.
Divide the dough into 10 to 12 equal pieces. Each piece be about the size of a large egg. Using oiled hands, shape the pieces by flattening between your palms as flat as you can get them.
In batches, fry the flatbreads in the hot oil for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Flip and fry on the second side for another 2 minutes. Transfer from the pan to a rack to cool slightly before serving. Add more oil as needed.
Serve with hummus and veggies for an easy summer meal.
