Dough

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate the Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the water and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Mix until a dough forms. Turn it out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    Let the Dough Rise

    Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Topping Preparation

  1. 5

    Roast the Tomatoes

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the Roma tomatoes in half, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 20 minutes until tender.

  2. 6

    Cook the Sausage

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat.

Assembly and Cooking

  1. 7

    Shape the Dough

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

  2. 8

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grill with olive oil to prevent sticking.

  3. 9

    Grill the Flatbread

    Place the dough on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until grill marks appear. Flip and add toppings.

  4. 10

    Add Toppings

    On the grilled side, layer the mozzarella cheese, pepperoni slices, cooked sausage, roasted tomatoes, and vinegar peppers.

  5. 11

    Finish Cooking

    Close the grill lid and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  6. 12

    Serve

    Remove from the grill, slice, and serve warm. Enjoy your Rustic Flat Bread!
