Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Oven prep

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Set aside the two schiaccate flatbreads for topping.

Assemble Flatbreads

  1. 3

    Oil the base

    Brush each schiaccate with olive oil (about 1 tablespoon per flatbread) to lightly coat the surface.

  2. 4

    Tapenade layer

    Spread about 3 tablespoons of tapenade evenly over the oiled surface of each flatbread.

  3. 5

    Parmesan spread

    Dollop and gently spread 0.25 cup of parmesan spread over the tapenade on each flatbread.

  4. 6

    Pepperoni

    Top each flatbread with pepperoni slices (about 12 slices per flatbread). Sprinkle with sea salt (0.25 tsp) and cracked black pepper (0.125 tsp).

Bake and Finish

  1. 7

    Bake in the preheated oven for 8-12 minutes, until the crust is golden and the pepperoni is slightly crisp and the toppings are heated through.

  2. 8

    Remove from oven, let rest 2 minutes, cut into slices and serve warm.
