Flatbread Caprese image

I don't consider myself a baker, but I do enjoy baking shows like The Great British Bake-Off. And sometimes on a rainy afternoon, I get inspired to have some fun and try something new. This is my attempt at a homemade flatbread . . . it turned out surprisingly well!

Yield 4 appetizer servings or 2 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for kneading
1/2 teaspoon active dry yeast
1 teaspoon sea salt, plus more as needed
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1 cup warm water (105°F to 110°F)
Extra virgin olive oil
4 ounces fresh mozzarella, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 pint grape tomatoes, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
Handful of fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • Combine the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar in a large bowl and whisk to blend. Stir in the water until it forms a rough dough.
  • Sprinkle some flour on a counter or cutting board. Turn the dough out onto the board and sprinkle a bit more flour on top. Knead until the dough becomes a smooth ball, 3 to 4 minutes, adding more flour as needed. Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest on the counter for 10 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • Roll the dough into a 9x17-inch rectangle and transfer it to the prepared pan. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil and bake 18 to 20 minutes, until golden and crisp.
  • Meanwhile, combine the mozzarella and tomatoes in a medium bowl. Slice the basil into ribbons and add them to the bowl, along with a drizzle of oil. Season with salt.
  • Transfer the flatbread to a cutting board. Scatter the mozzarella mixture on top. Cut the flatbread lengthwise, then into triangles. Serve immediately.

This flatbread was a little too salty for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had used less salt in the dough.

This flatbread was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had drained the tomatoes before adding them to the flatbread.

The flatbread was good, but I think I would have liked it better with a different type of cheese. Maybe a sharp cheddar or a goat cheese.
