Method
Dough Preparation
- 1
Activate the Yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the water and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Mix the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until a dough begins to form.

Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.

Let the Dough Rise
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Topping Preparation

Prepare the Toppings
While the dough is rising, prepare the toppings by mixing the mozzarella cheese, feta cheese, minced garlic, olive oil, chopped basil, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Set aside.
Assembly and Baking

Roll Out the Dough
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a floured surface. Divide the dough into 2 equal portions and roll each portion into a flat circle, about 10-12 inches in diameter.

Add the Toppings
Place the rolled-out flatbreads onto parchment paper. Evenly distribute the cheese mixture over the flatbreads.

Bake the Flatbreads
Carefully transfer the flatbreads onto the preheated baking stone or baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
