Cacio E Pepe Flatbread Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Flatbread Dough

   In a large bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy. Add flour, olive oil, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.

2. 2

   Knead and Rise

   Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Place it in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

3. 3

   Preheat Oven

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

4. 4

   Shape the Flatbread

   Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer to a piece of parchment paper.

5. 5

   Add Cheese and Pepper

   Sprinkle the grated Parmesan, Pecorino Romano, shredded Mozzarella, and cracked black pepper evenly over the flatbread.

6. 6

   Bake

   Carefully slide the flatbread (with parchment) onto the preheated baking stone or sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the edges are golden.

7. 7

   Serve

   Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, slice, and serve warm.
