One of our favorite things to make on the grill is flatbread. If you haven't tried grilled flatbread before, you are in for a treat! What I love about it, is that from one batch of dough you can make many varieties of grilled flatbread, both savory and sweet. Today I am sharing a recipe for Grilled Flatbread with Pesto and Mozzarella. For more outdoor recipes check out these Camping Recipes to Cook Outdoors.
This flatbread recipe is easy to prepare when you have an awesome grill like the Kenmore Elite Grills kenmore.com/grills. You can trust Kenmore for all your summer grilling needs. Kenmore is the most awarded brand in the industry and with good reason. Kenmore grills can turn your backyard into an outdoor kitchen. You can go from a backyard chef to a true "grill master." While mom will certainly enjoy and use a Kenmore Elite Grill, I think it would make an awesome Father's day gift. My guy loves cooking and eating outdoors. It is just such a relaxed way to do things and there is no easier way to feed a crowd than by grilling. Anytime we have a large party, we fire up the grill.
Check out these awesome Kenmore grill features:
- Higher BTUs provide more power for those large gatherings.
- Interior lights and exterior LED control panels so you can even grill at night.
- A stainless grate that prevents rust.
- Variety of attachments (only available on certain models) such as rotisserie attachments, smokers and ovens, side streamers and even a refrigerator to make grilling and entertaining easier.
- Even heat distribution provides even grilling results from corner to corner.
- A larger cooking surface and more burners for lots of cooking room.
Now that you have a great grill, lets get to grilling some flatbread! You'll start off by making an easy dough. We use this same recipe to make pizza dough. It works for flatbread or pizza.
You'll get between 8 and 10 flatbreads from this recipe depending on how big you make them.
This stuff cooks up quick on the grill. Just love those char marks!
We used basil pesto on this grilled flatbread. I recently saw some sun dried tomato pesto at the store and can't wait to try that on these flatbreads. I am getting hungry just thinking about it!
Topped with perfection in the form of fresh mozzarella cheese and sun dried tomatoes.
The fresh mozzarella melts beautifully with the top of the grill closed.
You can also try this with goat cheese and the results would be equally fantastic!
These cook up fairly quickly, making them a great party appetizer that your guests can personalize.
