Lavash Flatbread Pizzas Recipes

LAVASH OR FLATBREAD THIN AND CRISPY PIZZA

Steps:

• Prepare Lavash Bread or use your favorite flatbread. There are so many options!
• Next, make the Chimichurri Sauce which will be used in the place of pizza sauce. Or use one of the other sauces suggested earlier.
• Fry bacon, but not too crispy, it will continue to cook in the oven. When cool, chop it into small pieces.
• Next, chop ham (or whatever meats you want to use). Slice or chop your vegetables too. In this case, I'm using red onions and black olives.Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Toss sliced onion into the skillet and sauté for a few minutes in the bacon grease until slightly caramelized.
• Brush approximately 2 tablespoons of Chimichurri or barbecue sauce over the cooked Lavash Bread or flatbread.
• Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by the ham, bacon, caramelized onions, and black olives. Top with the remaining shredded cheese.
• Bake for 5 to 7 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the edges of the pizza are golden. Sprinkle with crushed red pepper or garnish the crispy pizza with chopped cilantro.

LAVASH PIZZA WITH TOMATOES, MOZZARELLA AND GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375 degrees, preferably with a pizza stone in it.
• Place the lavash on a baking sheet. Sprinkle the mozzarella over the lavash, and top with the tomato slices and onion. Arrange the goat cheese over and between the tomato slices. Sprinkle with thyme, salt and pepper. Drizzle on the olive oil.
• Bake 15 to 20 minutes, until the lavash is crisp and dark brown on the edges. Remove from the heat and serve; or allow to cool slightly, then serve. Cut with a pizza wheel or scissors.

LAVASH FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
• In a smaller bowl, beat together the water, egg, and 2 tablespoons of the extra-virgin olive oil until well mixed.
• Add the wet ingredients to the bowl with flour and mix well. Knead with your hands until the dough comes together, but don't overdo it as the end result will be tough. If too wet, add a teaspoon of flour at a time until the dough comes together.
• Preheat the oven to 400 F. Split the dough into 2 balls. Let the balls of dough rest, covered, for at least as long as it takes for the oven to heat, or ideally for 30 to 40 minutes.
• Lightly grease 2 un-rimmed cookie sheets with some of the remaining olive oil. Place the cookie sheets on a flat surface with a towel underneath so they don't slip. Place one ball of dough on each cookie sheet and roll the dough out as thin as possible, the thinner the dough, the crispier the flatbread.
• Brush each flatbread with the remaining olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt if desired.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the flatbread is lightly browned and crispy.
• Remove from oven and serve immediately.
• Enjoy.

WEEKDAY LAVASH FLATBREAD PIZZAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a cooking sheet with foil or parchment for easy clean up.
• Pour olive oil in a small bowl, and using a pastry or basting brush, brush oil across one side of the lavash bread. Cover the whole surface with a light amount of oil. Put lavash on cookie sheet, oil side up. Crisp bread in the oven for 4-½ to 7 minutes. Watch bread so that it doesn't get too done. Bread should be lightly brown in some spots and a little firm, not too floppy. Remove from oven.
• Put desired toppings on crispy bread; see article above for ideas. Start with a brushing of sauce, then sprinkle cheese, vegetables, chicken (optional), and herbs.
• Place in oven for 3-½ to 6 minutes until cheese melts. Serve immediately.

FERAH'S LAVASH PIZZAS

Steps:

• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line 2 baking sheets with aluminum foil.
• Place 2 sheets of lavash on each baking sheet. Spread 1 1/2 teaspoon tomato paste over each sheet of lavash. Lay about 6 slices of salami over the tomato paste. Scatter cherry tomatoes, red onion, and black olives on top. Cover with mozzarella cheese.
• Broil lavash in batches in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, 3 to 5 minutes.

LAVASH FLATBREAD PIZZAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°. If you have a pizza stone, heat it as well.
• Spray lavash lightly with oil then top with sauce. Too much sauce will make the bread soggy so don't over-do it.
• Top with cheese and oregano, then bake until the cheese melts, about 5 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and cut into 4 pieces.
• Top with fresh basil and eat immediately.

BACON AND ARTICHOKE HEARTS LAVASH FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a sheet tray with parchment paper.
• Cook the bacon in a large saute pan over medium-high heat until it is golden and crispy, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then chop into bite-sized pieces. Remove all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease and add the artichoke hearts. Cook over medium heat until they are golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the canola oil, then the garlic and chile flakes. Saute until the garlic is fragrant, another minute. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Combine the ricotta, lemon zest, Parmesan, salt, pepper and 2 tablespoons lemon juice in a medium bowl and stir until smooth. Trim the lavash as necessary to fit on a sheet tray and spread the ricotta mixture in an even layer over the top. Top with artichokes and bacon and bake until the cheese is melted and the lavash has crisped at the edges, about 10 minutes.
• Toss the arugula with olive oil and the remaining tablespoon lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle the flatbread with olive oil, then top with arugula and cut into slices.
