Andys Flatbread Pizza Recipes

5 EASY FLATBREAD PIZZA RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425° F.
• Bake all flatbreads for about 10-12 minutes or until cheese is fully melted and crust is golden and reaches desired level of crispiness. Flatbreads tend to continue to crisp out of the oven if left to cool on the hot baking sheet. These can also be grilled in about 10 minutes on medium-high heat with the cover down. Just be sure to oil grill grates with oil.
• Top flatbread with a light layer (1/4 cup) of pizza sauce and top with mozzarella pearls. Garnish with chopped basil just before serving.
• Slice cooked sweet Italian chicken sausage. Top flatbread with a light layer (1/4 cup) of pizza sauce and spinkle with either shredded mozzarella or quatro formaggio cheese as needed. Top with pepper, onion, and sweet italian sausage. Note: sausage must be fully cooked.
• Spread 2-3 tablespoons of fig jam on the flatbread. Top with mozzarella pearls and chunks of prosciutto torn apart with hands. While pizza is cooking, bring a a small saucepan of balsamic vinegar to a simmer. Simmer until reduced by half and thickened, about 5 minutes. Top with fresh arugula drizzle balsamic reduction over pizza just before serving.
• Top flatbread with a light layer (1/4 cup) of pizza sauce and top with quatro formaggio cheese. Top with whole or halved pepperoni slices.
• Top flatbread with 3-4 tablespoons of basil pesto. Top with fresh mozzarella pearls and optional sliced cherry tomatoes.

PIZZA AND FLATBREAD DOUGH

Steps:

• 1. Process the flour and 2 teaspoons salt in the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the dough hook until thoroughly incorporated, 1 minute.
• 2. Put the yeast in another bowl. Whisk in 1/4 cup warm water, then 2 tablespoons of the oil. Let rest until the liquid begins to foam, about 10 minutes, then pour this mixture into the center of the flour. Mix the flour and yeast solution until incorporated. Add 3/4 cup warm water to the flour and mix again until the dough pulls together in a single, unified mass.
• 3. Turn the mass out onto a lightly floured surface and begin to knead the dough by working it with the heel of your hand. Push outward and pull the inside edge over the top. Repeat the process over and over to create a smooth ball of dough free of stickiness. This should take 6 to 8 minutes.
• 4. Brush a clean, stainless-steel bowl with the remaining tablespoon oil and put the ball of dough in the bowl. Cover with a clean cloth and let rise at room temperature until it has doubled in size, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• 5. When the dough has risen, divide it in half, or thirds for thinner pizzas, and shape the pieces into balls that will later be patted into the traditional pizza shape. The balls of dough can be individually wrapped in plastic and frozen for up to 2 months.
