Grilled Flatbread With Crispy Prosciutto Ricotta And Vincotto Recipes

PROSCIUTTO AND PEAR GRILLED FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and brush with olive oil.
• Meanwhile, roll out the pizza dough 1/4- to 1/2-inch-thick on a lightly floured surface into the desired shape; for a flatbread I like an elongated oval to fit my grill pan. Place the dough on the grill pan and cook until crusty grill marks appear, about 3 minutes. Flip and grill the other side.
• Top the grilled side with a brushing of olive oil, the sliced pears and fontina cheese, arranging everything in a flat even layer. When the crust is heated through and not doughy, and grill marks appear, remove the flatbread to a sheet pan and place in the oven. Bake until the cheese is melted and the pears are heated through, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the arugula to a medium bowl, then drizzle with the lemon juice and some olive oil to lightly coat . Season with a small pinch of salt and the crushed red pepper. Remove the pizza from the oven and top with the prosciutto, then the dressed greens. Drizzle with the truffle honey. Slice and serve! Salty-sweet! Yum!

GRILLED FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Heat a grill or grill pan until hot. Place water in a medium bowl, and sprinkle yeast on top; stir to dissolve. Let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes. Add olive oil, flour, and salt; combine. Turn dough out onto a well-floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic, 1 to 2 minutes. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let stand in a warm place for 30 minutes.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide into 4 equal pieces, and roll out each into a 1/8-inch-thick round. Lightly brush both sides of each round with olive oil, and place the rounds directly on the hot grill. Grill the flatbread until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from grill, and season with salt.

GRILLED PROSCIUTTO AND PEACH FLATBREAD PIZZA

Steps:

• Combine balsamic vinegar, honey, lemon juice, and pepper in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce to low. Simmer until mixture has reduced down to 1/3 cup, about 15 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Grill naan until faint char marks appear, 2 to 3 minutes. Spread ricotta cheese over the charred side. Top with peaches and prosciutto. Sprinkle with basil. Drizzle with balsamic reduction.
• Return flatbreads to to the grill. Grill with the cover on, until the cheese is melted and the bottom of the flatbread begins to char, about 7 minutes.

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.

GRILLED FLATBREAD WITH RICOTTA CHEESE, FRESH TOMATOES, OREGANO AND ROASTED GARLIC OIL

Steps:

• Roasted Garlic Oil:
• Place oil and garlic in a blender and blend until smooth. Strain.
• Flatbread:
• Mix water and yeast in a large bowl and let stand 5 minutes to proof. Gradually pour in 2 cups of the flour and stir to incorporate. Mix for about 1 minute to form a sponge. Let stand, covered, for at least an hour.
• Put sponge in the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the dough hook, add the salt and oil, then add the flour, 1/2 cup at a time, to form a dough. Remove from bowl and knead. Place in a clean oiled bowl and let rise, slowly, about 2 1/2 hours. Divide dough into 4 balls, if desired, let rise again for 1/2 hour, and then roll out as desired.
• Flatten flatbread dough, gently press into a large rectangle, brush liberally with olive oil, and throw on grill. Grill on both sides until golden brown. Spread 1 side with ricotta, sprinkle with salt and pepper, scatter tomatoes over, drizzle with Roasted Garlic Oil, and garnish with basil and more freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately.
• Yield: 4 individual flatbreads or 1 large flatbread

RICOTTA, SQUASH AND HONEY FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Stir together the ricotta with a large pinch of salt and few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Prepare an outdoor grill for medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with oil. Toss together the squash and zucchini slices, 1 tablespoon of the oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Grill the vegetables, turning once, until nicely marked and just tender, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove to the large bowl and toss with the juice of one of the lemon halves.
• Brush the tops of the flatbreads with the remaining tablespoon oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread a quarter of the ricotta over each flatbread. Divide the grilled vegetables among the flatbreads. Transfer the flatbreads to the grill, cover and cook until the bottoms are slightly charred and crisp in spots and the ricotta is warm, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Remove to serving plates and top each with a drizzle of oil, a squeeze of the other lemon half, some lemon zest and a drizzle of honey. Sprinkle with salt and red pepper flakes, then top with the fresh herbs.

GRILLED PINEAPPLE AND PROSCIUTTO FLATBREAD

Steps:

• To make the dough, combine warm water, 1/2 cup of flour, and yeast to a mixing bowl. Use a whisk to mix everything into a smooth batter. Cover bowl with a towel and let sit for 30 minutes.
• Add olive oil, salt, and remaining flour to the bowl, and stir with a spoon or fork until the mixture comes together to form a shaggy ball of dough.
• Transfer everything to a work surface and knead until the dough just starts to become elastic, about 2 minutes.
• Place dough in a lightly oiled zip-top bag. Press out most of the air, seal, and place in the refrigerator for 8 hours, or overnight.
• The next day, take the bag of dough out of the fridge, and leave out at room temperature until it roughly doubles in size, about 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat a charcoal grill until coals are white and ashy. Quarter your peeled and cored pineapple and trim out the tough, fibrous core in the center.
• Grill pineapple round-side down over hot coals until heated through, and fairly well charred, about 3 minutes; flip and continue to grill on the cored side until charred, 2 to 3 minutes. Reserve until needed.
• Once dough has doubled, remove from bag and divide into 4 portions. Form each portion into a ball and use a rolling pin to roll dough into an oval, or circle about an 1/8-inch thick.
• Place dough over hot coals, and grill until dough is cooked through, and about half the surface area is slightly charred, about 2 minutes per side.
• Remove from grill and top each warm flatbread with a drizzle of olive oil. Top with prosciutto, thin slices of grilled pineapple, tarragon leaves, and freshly ground black pepper. Finish with another small drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of flaky sea salt.
