Oven Roasted Flatbread Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Make the Dough

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

2. 2

   Knead the Dough

   Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

3. 3

   Caramelize Onions

   While the dough is rising, slice 2 large onions and cook them in a skillet over medium-low heat with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Stir occasionally until they are soft and golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.

4. 4

   Preheat Oven

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

5. 5

   Shape the Flatbread

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

6. 6

   Add Toppings

   Place the flatbreads on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Top each with caramelized onions and crumble sweet Italian Gorgonzola cheese over the top.

7. 7

   Bake

   Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the flatbreads are golden brown and the cheese is melted. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
