Herb-Infused Flatbread with Rosemary & Sea Salt

Flatbread is one of the simplest things to bring from kitchen to table, yet it always feels special. This version, infused with fresh rosemary and finished with a sprinkle of sea salt, carries both rustic charm and garden flavor. It’s quick to make, endlessly versatile, and perfect for dipping, layering, or simply tearing apart with your hands.

Whenever I bake flatbread, I think of my parents kneading dough in our kitchen in Romania—simple bread, always shared. This recipe is my own little echo of that tradition, touched with herbs from the garden.

🌱 From My Garden

I love pulling fresh rosemary from the garden for this bread—its scent alone feels like a prayer rising. In winter, I’ll snip sprigs I’ve overwintered in pots by the window. Each herb brings its own story to the bread, and the act of kneading reminds me that even simple food carries the garden’s grace.
