Your flatbread would make such a great appetizer, love the roasted garlic!
What a great appetizer to make for the holiday gatherings coming up. I love that you used fresh herbs in this recipe as they have so much flavor. The roasted garlic is the icing on the cake! Thanks for another great recipe.
What a great recipe and what a great video.
It doesn’t take long, so I might try it in the future. Maybe my wife will help me too. I love the roasted garlic too.
Thanks Jack!
Easiest, most impressive, best tasting appetizer ever. Sure made an impression on all my holiday guests!

Hi Michelle! So glad to hear you enjoyed this. Have a Happy New Year!
Hey Jennifer,
That’s so simple and yummy recipe. Your blog has got awesome and unique recipes.
thank for sharing delicious recipe ideas 🙂
Thank you! 🙂
This flaky dough is a real game-changer in the kitchen. Making puff pastry from scratch is a rather involve process, including lots of butter and lots of dough folding. Buying frozen or store-bought is a cinch and works just as well!
