We construct asymptotically AdS black hole solutions, with a self-interacting bulk scalar field, in the context of 5D general relativity. As the observable universe is characterized by spatial flatness, we focus on solutions where the horizon of the black hole, and subsequently all 3D hypersurfaces for fixed radial coordinate, have zero spatial curvature. We examine two cases for the black hole scalar hair: (a) an exponential decaying scalar field profile and (b) an inverse power scalar field profile. The scalar black hole solutions we present in this paper are characterized by four functions f(r), a(r), {phi}(r), and V({phi}(r)). Only the functions {phi}(r) and a(r) are determined analytically, while the functions f(r) and V({phi}(r)) are expressed semianalytically by integral formulas in terms of a(r). We present our numerical results and study in detail the characteristic properties of our solutions. We also note that the potential we obtain has a nonconvex form in agreement with the corresponding 'no hair theorem' for AdS spacetimes.
