Method
Dough Preparation
- 1
Activate the Yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- 2
Mix the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add the frothy yeast mixture and olive oil.

Knead the Dough
Mix the ingredients until a dough forms. Turn it out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Let the Dough Rise
Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Assembling and Baking

Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a baking stone or a baking sheet inside to heat up.

Shape the Dough
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a floured surface. Divide it into two equal pieces and roll each into a flat round about 1/4 inch thick.

Add Toppings
Transfer the flatbreads to a piece of parchment paper. Sprinkle mozzarella and feta cheese evenly over each flatbread. Add fresh basil leaves, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with black pepper.

Bake the Flatbreads
Carefully slide the parchment paper with the flatbreads onto the preheated baking stone or sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges are golden brown.
