Time 35m

Yield 2 loaves (8 wedges each).

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2-1/2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. In a large bowl, combine 1/4 cup oil, sugar, salt, yeast mixture and 2 cups flour; beat on medium speed until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough., Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 40 minutes., Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Pat each piece flat. Let rest 5 minutes. Roll out each portion into an 11-in. circle; place on greased baking sheets. Cover with kitchen towels; let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, about 40 minutes., Preheat oven to 425°. Using the end of a wooden spoon handle, make several 1/4-in. indentations. Brush with remaining oil. In a small bowl, combine cheese, garlic salt and rosemary; sprinkle over dough. Bake 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. Cut into wedges.

I added some chopped garlic and oregano to the olive oil before brushing it on the dough. It gave the flatbread a nice flavor.

Delicious and easy to make. I used a pre-made pizza crust to save time.

I love that this recipe is so versatile. You can use any type of toppings you like. I've made it with everything from classic cheese and pepperoni to more creative combinations like pesto and sun-dried tomatoes.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover ingredients. I had some leftover roasted chicken and vegetables, and I just threw them on top of the flatbread dough. It was a delicious and easy meal.

This flatbread recipe is a keeper! The dough was easy to work with and the toppings were delicious. I used a combination of mozzarella, parmesan, and fontina cheeses, and added some chopped basil and oregano. The flatbreads were crispy on the outside
