Fig And Rosemary Flatbread Recipes

FIG AND PROSCIUTTO FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the flatbread crust on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
• In a small bowl, combine the hot pepper jelly with the balsamic vinegar. Spread the jelly mixture over the flatbread, leaving a border of crust exposed. Bake until the jelly begins to bubble, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Top the flatbread with the figs. Tear the prosciutto into ribbons and place around the figs. Sprinkle with the baby arugula. Drizzle the olive oil over the flatbread and sprinkle with the flaky sea salt. Slice into triangular pieces and serve immediately.

ROSEMARY FLATBREADS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup warm water; stir in honey. Add 1/4 cup flour; mix until almost smooth. Let stand 30 minutes or until bubbly., Place remaining flour, remaining warm water, oil, rosemary and salt in a food processor; add yeast mixture. Process until dough forms a ball. Process 1 minute more to knead dough, pulsing as needed., Transfer to a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour., Preheat oven to 425°. Punch down dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide and shape dough into 6 balls. On greased baking sheets, pat each ball into a 5-in. circle. For topping, brush tops with oil; sprinkle with rosemary and salt. Bake 8-12 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm. Freeze option: Freeze cooled flatbreads in a freezer container. To use, thaw at room temperature or microwave each flatbread on high until heated through, 10-15 seconds.

ROASTED CHICKEN WITH FIGS AND ROSEMARY

Steps:

• In a large bowl, toss chicken with salt, rosemary, garlic, citrus zest and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to overnight (the longer the better).
• Heat oven to 450 degrees. Spread chicken pieces out on two rimmed baking sheets, making sure there is plenty of room between the pieces. Arrange figs among the chicken pieces, then scatter jalapeño slices on top. Drizzle everything generously with olive oil.
• Roast, switching the position of the baking pans after 15 minutes so everything browns evenly, until the chicken is golden and cooked through. This should take about 25 to 30 minutes for the breast meat, and 30 to 40 for the dark meat. Serve chicken with the orange or lemon wedges for squeezing, if you like.

FIG-AND-PROSCIUTTO FLATBREADS

Steps:

• Place a pizza stone in the bottom of the oven and preheat the oven to 500ºF. (The pizza stone is ideal but not necessary - just make sure the oven is hot enough to cook the pizza's).
• Allow at least 45 minutes for the pizza stone to heat thoroughly.
• Meanwhile, on a lightly floured surface, roll out one piece of the pizza dough to a 13-inch round.
• Dust a pizza peel with flour and slide the dough onto it.
• Drizzle with about 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and sprinkle with half of the garlic and rosemary.
• Season with salt and pepper & pinch of crushed red pepper flakes (if using).
• Dollop 1/4 cup of the fig jam (it is difficuclt to spread) all over the crust, being sure to leave a 1-inch border of dough all around.
• Scatter half of the cheese and prosciutto over the dough.
• Slide the flatbread onto the stone and bake for about 15 minutes, until puffed and golden.
• Transfer the flatbread to a cutting board and let cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
• Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make the second flatbread.
• Garnish with the sliced scallion and serve.

CRISP ROSEMARY FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F with a heavy baking sheet on rack in middle.
• Stir together flour, chopped rosemary, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Make a well in center, then add water and oil and gradually stir into flour with a wooden spoon until a dough forms. Knead dough gently on a work surface 4 or 5 times.
• Divide dough into 3 pieces and roll out 1 piece (keep remaining pieces covered with plastic wrap) on a sheet of parchment paper into a 10-inch round (shape can be rustic; dough should be thin).
• Lightly brush top with additional oil and scatter small clusters of rosemary leaves on top, pressing in slightly. Sprinkle with sea salt. Slide round (still on parchment) onto preheated baking sheet and bake until pale golden and browned in spots, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer flatbread (discard parchment) to a rack to cool, then make 2 more rounds (1 at a time) on fresh parchment (do not oil or salt until just before baking). Break into pieces.
