Flatbread Dough

Method

Flatbread Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    Add the olive oil, salt, and flour to the yeast mixture. 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

    Let it Rise

    Place the dough in a 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.

Assemble and Bake

  1. 5

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.

  2. 6

    Shape the Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a flat circle, about 1/4 inch thick.

  3. 7

    Add Toppings

    For the chicken pesto flatbread, spread pesto sauce, add shredded chicken, and top with mozzarella cheese. For meatball marinara, spread marinara, add sliced meatballs, and mozzarella. For pepperoni & green chile, layer sliced pepperoni, green chilies, and mozzarella.

  4. 8

    Bake the Flatbreads

    Transfer the flatbreads to a baking sheet or directly onto the pizza stone. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling and the edges are golden brown.

  5. 9

    Finish and Serve

    Remove from the oven, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, slice, and serve warm.
