Flatbread Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy. Stir in olive oil, salt, and flour until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.

  2. 2

    Caramelize the Onions

    In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions, and cook until they are soft and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. Stir in balsamic vinegar and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Flatbread

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer to a baking sheet. Spread pesto over the dough, then layer caramelized onions, roasted peppers, and slices of fresh mozzarella.

  4. 4

    Bake the Flatbread

    Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden and the cheese is bubbly.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the flatbread from the oven and top with fresh basil leaves. Slice and serve warm.
