Best Pan Grilled Flatbread With Mushrooms And Autumn Vegetables Recipes

GRILLED FLATBREAD WITH WILD MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• For the dough: Stir together the sugar in 2 cups warm water in a medium bowl until dissolved. Sprinkle the yeast over the water, cover with a clean kitchen towel and let sit until the mixture becomes slightly foamy, about 5 minutes. If the mixture doesn't become foamy, it means the yeast is dead; throw the mixture out and start over with a new packet of yeast.
• Add the flour and salt to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook and mix on low speed until combined. Add the yeast mixture and the olive oil and knead on low speed for 4 minutes. Raise the mixer speed to medium-low and knead until the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl, about 6 minutes. Raise the mixer speed to medium and mix until the dough is smooth, pliable, and elastic, 5 minutes more. Lightly oil a large, clean bowl and transfer the dough to the bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rest in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• For the mushrooms: Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add half of the portobello mushrooms, half of the oyster mushrooms, 3 sprigs thyme and half of the bay leaf to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms no longer give off liquid and are golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add a pinch of salt, stir and transfer the mushrooms to a large bowl. Return the pan to the stovetop over medium-high heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. When it has melted, add the remaining mushrooms, thyme and bay leaf. Cook the second batch in the same manner as above. Add a pinch of salt, stir and transfer the mushrooms to the bowl with the first batch. Set aside.
• To assemble: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. If you'd like to grill your crust first, preheat a grill for cooking over medium heat.
• Dust your work surface with flour and cut the dough in half. Using your fingertips, press out each piece into an oval roughly 12 inches long and 4 inches wide. If grilling crust first, brush the dough with olive oil and place on the grill. Grill until cooked through and well-marked on each side, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove from the heat and transfer the flatbreads to the prepared pans. If not grilling, simply transfer one piece of dough to each of the prepared pans and brush with olive oil.
• Divide the mushrooms evenly between the two crusts and top with the truffled Pecorino and the Parmigiano-Reggiano. Bake until the cheese has melted and the flatbreads are golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes if the crusts were grilled and 17 to 20 minutes if not (if your oven can't accommodate both flatbreads on the center rack, use the upper and lower racks and rotate and switch their positions halfway through). Garnish with chives and serve immediately.

GRILLED MUSHROOM FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Combine 1 cup of the oil and the garlic in a small pot over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer. Turn the heat to low and cook until the edges of the garlic are slightly golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Turn off the heat and let cool.
• Puree the garlic, 1/2 cup of the cooking oil and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt until smooth. Set aside. (The garlic puree will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 1 month.)
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a large cast-iron skillet over high heat. Saute the mushrooms in batches (do not overcrowd the pan). Add another tablespoon of oil between batches if needed. Do not stir the mushrooms until they brown on one side, about 3 minutes. Add some of the thyme, then stir the mushrooms and cook for another 2 minutes. Once all the mushrooms have been browned, combine them in the skillet and season with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add the wine and cook until evaporated, about 3 minutes. Add the creme fraiche and stir until fully incorporated. Turn off the heat and keep warm.
• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured cutting board to about 1/2-inch thick. Lay the dough on the grill and cook until grill marks form, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook for 3 to 4 minutes more. Spread with 2 to 3 tablespoons of the garlic puree. Cover the grill and cook for 30 seconds. Transfer the flatbread to a cutting board and top with the mushrooms and the parsley. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt.

GRILLED GARDEN VEGGIE FLATBREADS

Steps:

• Grill flatbreads, covered, over indirect medium heat 2-3 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned., Remove from grill. Brush grilled sides with oil; top with tomato and onion to within 1/2 in. of edges. In a small bowl, toss cheeses with basil and garlic powder; sprinkle over vegetables. Drizzle with vinegar; sprinkle with salt. Return to grill; cook, covered, 2-3 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Cut into wedges.

SHEET PAN ROASTED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• In a large bowl mix the zucchini, eggplant, carrots, tomatoes, onions and peppers with the oil, rosemary, thyme, bay leaves, oregano, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours, and preferably overnight.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• On a large roasting pan, roast the vegetables, uncovered, for 20 minutes, or until the tomatoes have split and the edges of some of the vegetables are starting to crisp. Remove from the oven and stir before returning to the oven for another 20 minutes. At this time reduce heat to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C) and continue cooking until vegetables are tender, turning every 20 minutes.
