Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon instant yeast

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon olive oil

3/4 cup warm water (around 110°F or 43°C)

4 cloves garlic, finely minced

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for spice)

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Sea salt, for sprinkling

Instructions
 

Make the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, and salt. Pour in the olive oil followed by the warm water. Stir until a soft dough begins to form.

    Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Shape it into a ball, place it in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and allow it to rise in a warm environment for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

      Prepare the Herb Mixture: While the dough is rising, mix together the minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped rosemary, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using) in a small bowl. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.

        Roll Out the Dough: After the dough has risen, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Gently punch down the dough to release any air. Roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle, approximately 1/4 inch thick.

          Add the Herb Mixture: Brush the melted butter generously over the entire surface of the rolled-out dough. Evenly sprinkle the garlic herb mixture across the top of the dough.

            Cut into Strips: Use a pizza cutter or a sharp knife to slice the dough into strips that are each about 1 inch wide.

              Twist the Strips: Take each strip and twist it multiple times to form spiral shapes. Arrange the twisted strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring there is space between each twist to allow for expansion while baking.

                Bake the Flatbread Twists: Lightly sprinkle sea salt over the twisted flatbreads. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown and crisp to the touch.

                  Serve and Enjoy: Once baked, allow the twists to cool slightly on the baking sheet. These garlic herb flatbread twists make a delightful snack or appetizer. Serve warm for the best flavor!

                      Presentation Tips: For an appealing display, serve the twists in a rustic basket lined with a cloth, and garnish with a sprig of fresh herbs. Pair them with a dipping sauce, such as marinara or garlic butter, for an extra touch!
