Flatbread Base

Method

Flatbread Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

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

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, and add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

  4. 4

    Knead the Dough

    Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  5. 5

    Let Dough Rise

    Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Assembling the Flatbread

  1. 6

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.

  2. 7

    Shape the Dough

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

  3. 8

    Add Cheese Toppings

    Transfer the shaped dough to a baking sheet or pizza stone. Evenly spread the ricotta cheese over the base, then sprinkle the mozzarella, Parmesan, and Gorgonzola cheeses on top.

  4. 9

    Bake the Flatbread

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and the edges of the flatbread are golden brown.

Finishing Touches

  1. 10

    Add Optional Toppings

    Once baked, remove the flatbread from the oven. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with black pepper, and top with fresh basil if desired.

  2. 11

    Slice and Serve

    Let the flatbread cool for a few minutes, then slice into pieces and serve warm.
