Best Flatbread Pizza With Asparagus Leeks Burrata Recipes

HOMEMADE FLATBREAD PIZZA RECIPE

Steps:

• Place the yeast and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook or paddle attachment. Or, if you do not own a stand mixer, a regular large mixing bowl. Pour warm water on top. Whisk gently to combine, then loosely cover with a clean kitchen towel and allow to sit for 5 minutes. The mixture should be frothy after 5 minutes. If not, start over with new yeast.
• With the stand mixer running on low speed, add the flour, olive oil, and salt. (And garlic/Italian seasoning if using.) Beat on low speed for 1 minute as it all combines. The dough should be thick and shaggy. Transfer it to a lightly floured work surface, including any loose flour. Knead it with lightly floured hands for 2 minutes until it begins to come together and becomes smooth. If the dough is too sticky to handle, add 1-2 more Tablespoons of flour.
• Place the dough in a greased bowl (I use nonstick spray to grease) and cover with plastic wrap, aluminum foil, or a clean kitchen towel. Allow to sit and rest for 45 minutes at room temperature. Once it has rested and slightly risen, you can place it in the fridge for up to 2 days. More instructions in the make ahead tip below.
• As the dough is resting and rising, prepare your toppings. See blog post and/or recipe note below.
• Preheat oven to 475°F (246°C).
• Punch the dough down to release any air. Divide the dough into two. On a lightly floured surface with floured hands and working with one dough piece at a time, begin shaping and stretching the dough until it is 1/4 inch thick. You can use a floured rolling pin for this too. Don't worry about the shape of the dough, just make sure it's pretty thin. Repeat with the second piece of dough. Carefully transfer both pieces of dough to a parchment paper or silicone-mat lined baking sheet, or use a pizza stone. (You can also shape/roll out the doughs directly on a silicone baking mat or a large sheet of parchment if that is easier for you and then just transfer the whole thing to the baking sheet.)
• Poke your fingers all around the surface of the flatbreads or prick a few holes with a fork. Drizzle or brush each with 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil. Top each with your favorite toppings.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the crust and toppings are browned to your liking. Remove from the oven. Slice and serve warm.
• Cover and store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

BURRATA FLATBREAD WITH GARLICKY GREENS, PEAS AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly grease a rimmed baking sheet with the olive oil.
• Put the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface. Using your hands or a rolling pin shape the dough into a very thin, 12-inch round. Place the dough on the prepared baking sheet.
• Coat the top of the dough with some olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano over the dough and bake until the flatbread is golden and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes.
• While the crust is baking, add 2 tablespoons olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the kale and cook, stirring and tossing continuously, until it starts to wilt, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and reduce the heat to low. Cook, stirring often, until the garlic is tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Zest the lemon using a rasp grater and set aside.
• Squeeze the juice of 1/2 of the lemon over the kale. Transfer the lemony kale to a bowl and set aside.
• Add 1/2 cup water and 1 teaspoon salt to a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. If using fresh peas, cook until tender, about 1 minute. If using frozen peas, stir them in, reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until tender, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Combine 1/2 cup of the cooked peas, the remaining 1 tablespoon grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, 2 tablespoons pea-cooking water, the reserved lemon zest and the juice of the remaining 1/2 of the lemon in a mini food processor and pulse, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula as necessary, until evenly processed and smooth, 1 to 2 minutes.
• To assemble, spread the pea puree over the flatbread, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge. Top with the garlicky kale. Cut the burrata into six pieces and add to the flatbread. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup cooked peas, fresh herbs and prosciutto. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and drizzle with a little balsamic vinegar and extra-virgin olive oil. Enjoy.
