MOROCCAN OLIVE FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Make the spice mixture by combining all of the seasonings in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Put the flour, sugar, salt, pepper and olives in a large mixing bowl and stir to combine. Add the olive oil and stir vigorously with a fork. Add the water and continue to stir until a ball forms. Sprinkle a work surface liberally with flour and turn the dough out onto the surface. Knead until the dough is velvety smooth, about 2 minutes. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Remove the dough from the refrigerator and flatten into a disk on a floured surface. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out as thinly as possible into an oval. Roll the dough onto the pin and transfer it to a baking sheet that has been brushed with olive oil.
• Brush the dough with extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkle with the spice mixture. Place the pan in the oven until the bread is crisp and deep golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, let cool, and break into pieces. The flatbread can be made up to 2 days in advance, wrapped in plastic wrap, and kept in a dry place.

FLATBREAD PIZZETTA

Steps:

• In the bowl of an electric mixer with the whisk attachment, blend the flour, garlic, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper. Add the water and mix well on low speed until a dough-like mixture is formed. (The water amount may need to be adjusted so the dough is moist but not wet.) Once mixed, wrap the dough in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Split the dough in half and roll out on a floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness. Transfer to a baking sheet and place in the oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and evenly spread 1/2 cup Tomato Sauce and half the cheese. Add additional toppings, if desired. Bake for a second time until the cheese is melted, 8 to10 minutes. Repeat with the other dough ball.
• In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Add the onions and garlic and cook until soft. Add the carrots and wine, deglazing the pan. Reduce the heat to medium and add the thyme, cooking for an additional 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and their juices and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the basil. Continue to cook over low heat for 20 to 30 minutes. Taste for seasoning and remove from the heat.
