Method

Flatbread Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Once the yeast is activated, add the olive oil and the yeast mixture to the flour.

  3. 3

    Knead Dough

    Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    Let Dough Rise

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

  5. 5

    Preheat Oven and Shape Dough

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the dough into a rectangular shape and place it on a baking sheet.

    Sauté Garlic

    In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

    Simmer Sauce

    Add the canned crushed tomatoes, oregano, salt, black pepper, and sugar. Stir well and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes.

  3. 8

    Cool Sauce

    Once the sauce thickens, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

    Add Red Sauce

    Spread a generous amount of the red sauce over the rolled-out flatbread.

    Mix Dressing

    In a bowl, combine bleu cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, milk, and lemon juice. Mix until smooth.
