Method

Flatbread Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate the Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

  2. 2

    Make the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    Rise the Dough

    Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Topping Assembly

  1. 5

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).

  2. 6

    Shape the Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll it out into a flatbread or pizza shape.

  3. 7

    Add Sauce and Cheese

    Spread tomato sauce evenly over the flatbread, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

  4. 8

    Add Toppings

    Distribute pepperoni slices, goat cheese crumbles, and sliced jalapeños evenly over the cheese.

  5. 9

    Bake

    Transfer the flatbread to a baking sheet or pizza stone and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbling.

  6. 10

    Finish with Hot Honey

    Once baked, drizzle hot honey over the top according to your taste before slicing and serving.
