Guy Fieris Flatbread Recipes

CARAMEL APPLE FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven, with a pizza stone if using, to 400 degrees F. For the flatbread: Stretch each piece of dough thinly, dusting with flour. Roll out each dough. Transfer to a pizza peel or upturned baking sheet dusted with flour or cornmeal. Par-bake for about 4 minutes each. Reserve. For the apple topping: Set a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the butter and once foaming, add the apples and cook until lightly browned on the outside, about 2 minutes. Add the brandy to deglaze (take care as it may flame), and then add the brown sugar, golden raisins, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon and salt, and cook over low heat until the apples are tender and sauce has thickened slightly, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and top the par-baked dough with the apple topping. Place back into the oven for another 2 minutes. Serve warm. To serve: Cut with a pizza wheel, dust with confectioners' sugar and serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, dissolve the sugar in the warm water. Sprinkle the yeast on top. Let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes.
• Add the olive oil and salt to the yeast mixture, then use the dough hook to mix in the flour. Mix until the dough comes together. Add more flour as needed and allow the machine to knead the dough until smooth.
• Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead until smooth. Place the dough in an oiled bowl and turn to coat the surface. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let stand in a warm place until the dough has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Turn out the dough onto a floured surface. Divide and form the dough into 4 smooth, tight balls. Cover loosely with a floured kitchen towel and set in a warm place to rise again for 30 to 45 minutes. Once risen, use immediately or wrap and freeze until ready for use, for up to 2 weeks.

WHOLE WHEAT GARLIC FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Combine the yogurt, whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, 2 tablespoons chopped parsley and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor and process until the dough is smooth. Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
• Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. On a floured surface, using your hands or a rolling pin, flatten each piece of dough into a large oval, about 6-inches in length. Oil the grill grate. In batches, grill the flatbreads until puffy and charred around the edges, 2 to 3 minutes per side. (Alternatively cook in a pizza oven or on a pizza stone for 4 to 5 minutes.) Hold the flatbreads on a plate under a warm towel as you cook the rest.
• Combine the butter with the garlic and remaining 1 tablespoon minced parsley and 1 teaspoon salt. Brush the hot flatbreads with the butter mixture.

ZA'ATAR FLATBREAD WITH LEBANESE VEGGIE SLAW AND GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• For the veggie slaw: In a small bowl, combine the lemon zest and juice, olive oil, Aleppo pepper and salt. Whisk well, and set aside. In a medium mixing bowl, add the romaine, cherry tomatoes, parsley, mint, cucumber, red onion and red pepper. Mix together until well combined. Pour the lemon dressing over the slaw and toss to thoroughly coat, being careful not to bruise the lettuce.
• For the za'atar flatbread: Place a wok, dome-side up, over a burner and preheat over medium heat.
• Divide the pizza dough in half and roll into balls. Oil the dough and set aside at room temperature until it can be easily rolled out, about 30 minutes. Flatten the dough balls and, with a floured rolling pin, roll each into a 12- to 14-inch circle.
• In a small mixing bowl combine the za'atar and 4 tablespoons of the olive oil; reserve to the side. Season the pre-heated wok with 1 tablespoon of the remaining olive oil. Set the first flatbread over the domed wok surface; it will start to cook immediately. Brush with half of the olive oil-za'atar mixture, spreading it evenly to 1/4-inch from the edges. Cook the flatbread until just lightly brown on the bottom. Remove to a flat surface, and repeat for other flatbread.
• To serve, add some veggie slaw to each flatbread, garnish with the goat cheese and roll up like a burrito. Cut in half and serve. Skewer if needed.

GARLIC BREAD

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix butter together with garlic, scallion, Parmesan, parsley, hot sauce and salt and pepper, to taste. Preheat broiler with rack 4 inches from heat. Slice baguette horizontally. Spread butter on both halves. Place on a sheet pan and toast under the broiler, about 2 minutes.

SPICY TUNA FLATBREAD

Steps:

• For the flatbread: Preheat the oven with a pizza stone to 500 degrees F. (If you don't have a pizza stone, sprinkle a sheet tray with flour or cornmeal.)
• Stretch each piece of Pizza Dough thinly, dusting with flour. Roll out each piece to wafer thin. Drizzle the dough with the olive oil, smearing evenly. Top with the shaved garlic, rosemary, sea salt and pepper. Transfer to the pizza peel (or upturned sheet tray). Bake until crispy, golden and bubbled up around edges, 2 to 4 minutes each piece.
• For the salad: Mix the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, Sriracha, sesame oil, and some kosher salt and pepper. Fold in the tuna.
• To serve: Break the crisp flatbread in pieces. Season with the flaked sea salt and drizzle with the aged balsamic. Top with a spoonful of salad and some greens.
• For the dough: In the bowl of a stand mixer, dissolve the sugar in the warm water. Sprinkle the yeast on top. Let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes.
• Add the olive oil and fine salt to the yeast mixture. Then use the dough hook to mix in the flour. Mix until the dough comes together. Add more flour as needed and allow the machine to knead the dough until smooth, about 10 minutes. Place the dough in an oiled bowl and turn to coat the surface. Cover the bowl with a towel and let stand in a warm place until the dough has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Turn out the dough onto a floured surface. Divide in 4 pieces. Form into 4 smooth, tight balls. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and set in a warm place to rise again for 30 minutes or in the refrigerator overnight.
• Once risen, use immediately or wrap and freeze until ready for use, for up to 2 weeks.
