Flatbread and Toppings

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Flatbread

    In a mixing bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. Add the flour, olive oil, and salt. Mix until a dough forms. Knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.

  2. 2

    Caramelize the Onions

    In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes until golden brown and caramelized.

  3. 3

    Cook the Mushrooms

    In the same skillet, add sliced mushrooms, thyme, and black pepper. Cook until mushrooms are tender and liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Preheat Oven

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

  5. 5

    Assemble the Flatbread

    Roll out the risen dough into a flatbread shape on a floured surface. Place it on a baking sheet. Spread the mushroom gravy, then top with caramelized onions and shredded Gruyère cheese.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the flatbread is golden brown.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and top with pickled red cabbage before slicing and serving.
