Flatbread Caprese Recipes

CAPRESE FLATBREAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Slice the tomatoes and mozzarella. Lay the tomato slices on paper towels to absorb some of their moisture.
• Dust a large work surface with flour. Roll and stretch the pizza dough out into a large 15x18-inch rectangle. Smear the garlic and herb cheese spread over half of the pizza dough, then fold the bare dough over the half with the cheese spread to cover it.
• Move the folded dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and stretch it out to a 10x15-inch rectangle. Arrange the tomatoes, basil leaves, and mozzarella slices on the dough. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Bake for 20-22 minutes until the crust is golden. Drizzle balsamic glaze over the flat bread, then cut and serve.

FLATBREAD CAPRESE

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.
