My journey into creating this garlic herb flatbread started when I was craving a warm, comforting bread with bold flavors. I experimented with various herbs and finally settled on rosemary and thyme to complement the roasted garlic. The key is allowing the garlic to caramelize slightly, which brings out its sweetness and depth. I’ve found this really balances the flavor, making each bite savory yet aromatic.

What I love most about this flatbread is its versatility; you can serve it with dips, alongside salads, or even use it as a base for mini pizzas. I've also learned that if you cook it on a pizza stone, it achieves the most delightful crust. Keep this technique in mind as you explore different toppings—you’ll be amazed at the results!
