Flatbread Dough

House Sauce

Method

Flatbread Dough

  1. 1

    Prepare the Yeast

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

  2. 2

    Make the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add the frothy yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    Let it Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

House Sauce

  1. 5

    Mix the Sauce

    In a medium bowl, combine tomato sauce, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a baking sheet or pizza stone in the oven to heat.

  2. 7

    Roll Out the Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll it out into a rectangle or circle, about 1/4 inch thick.

  3. 8

    Add Sauce and Cheese

    Transfer the rolled-out dough to a piece of parchment paper. Spread a generous amount of house sauce over the dough, leaving a small border. Sprinkle the four cheese blend evenly on top.

  4. 9

    Bake the Flatbread

    Carefully transfer the flatbread (with parchment) onto the heated baking sheet or pizza stone. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.

  5. 10

    Slice and Serve

    Remove the flatbread from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then slice into squares or wedges and serve warm.
