Grilled Zuppa Margarita Flatbread Recipe

Preparation and Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Make the Flatbread Dough

   In a mixing bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy. Add flour, olive oil, and salt. Mix until a dough forms, then knead for about 5 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour.

2. 2

   Prepare the Marinara Sauce

   While the dough is rising, heat the spicy pen marinara sauce in a saucepan over medium heat. Allow it to simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3. 3

   Preheat the Grill

   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

4. 4

   Shape the Flatbread

   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.

5. 5

   Grill the Flatbread

   Place the flatbread on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until grill marks appear and it’s cooked through.

6. 6

   Assemble the Flatbread

   Remove the flatbread from the grill. Spread a generous amount of spicy pen marinara sauce on each flatbread. Top with slices of fresh mozzarella and sprinkle with red pepper flakes.

7. 7

   Finish Cooking

   Return the topped flatbreads to the grill for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

8. 8

   Garnish and Serve

   Remove from the grill, add fresh basil leaves on top, slice, and serve hot.
