Flatbread

Method

Preparing the Flatbread

  1. 1

    Activate the Yeast

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

  2. 2

    Make the Dough

    In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    Let it Rise

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

Assembling the Flatbread

  1. 5

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).

  2. 6

    Shape the Flatbread

    Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out into a rectangular shape on a floured surface.

  3. 7

    Add Toppings

    Transfer the rolled dough to a baking sheet. Spread the San Marzano tomatoes evenly on top, then layer with sopressata, smoked mozzarella, sliced jalapeño, and fresh basil leaves.

  4. 8

    Drizzle the Nectar

    Drizzle spicy copra nectar over the top of the assembled flatbread.

  5. 9

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the flatbread is golden and the cheese is melted.

  6. 10

    Serve

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