Flatbread

Method

Flatbread Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a bowl, combine warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy. Add olive oil and salt, then gradually add flour, mixing until a dough forms.

  2. 2

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.

  3. 3

    Preheat Oven

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

Assembly

  1. 4

    Shape the Flatbread

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

  2. 5

    Prepare Rosemary Garlic Oil

    In a small bowl, mix olive oil with minced garlic and chopped rosemary. Brush this mixture over the flatbreads.

  3. 6

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle grated parmesan and shredded mozzarella evenly over each flatbread.

  4. 7

    Bake

    Transfer the flatbreads to a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the edges are golden brown.

  5. 8

    Finish with Balsamic Reduction

    Once baked, drizzle with balsamic reduction and let cool slightly before slicing.
