White Flatbread Recipe

Preparation Instructions

1. 1

   Make the Flatbread Dough

   In a small bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

2. 2

   Knead the Dough

   Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

3. 3

   Prepare the Pesto

   In a food processor, combine pistachios, basil, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and salt. Pulse until coarsely chopped. While the processor is running, slowly add olive oil until the pesto reaches your desired consistency.

4. 4

   Preheat the Oven

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

5. 5

   Roll Out the Dough

   Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a floured surface. Divide the dough into 2 equal portions. Roll each portion into a flat round shape about 1/4 inch thick.

6. 6

   Assemble the Flatbread

   Place the rolled out flatbread onto a baking sheet. Spread a generous layer of pistachio pesto over the surface. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and a little Parmesan cheese on top.

7. 7

   Bake

   Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden and the cheese is bubbly.

8. 8

   Serve

   Remove from the oven, slice, and serve warm.
