Ingredients

For flatbread

  • 2 cups flour
  • Dash of sugar
  • 1 package yeast
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup warm water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Topping

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, yeast and salt.
  • Heat water to 120-130 degrees and add it to the flour mixture.
  • Mix to form into dough,
  • Knead on a floured surface and form into a ball.
  • Cover the dough and let it rise for an hour until it has doubled in size.
  • Return dough to a floured surface and divide into 8 equal portions.
  • Preheat a grill or stovetop griddle on medium-high heat. Roll out each dough ball into a thin flatbread, about ¼ inch thick. Brush one side of the flatbread with olive oil. This will prevent it from sticking to the grill.
  • Cook dough on a hot grill for 2-3 minutes on each side. Turn flatbread over when the dough starts getting darker and appears cooked.
  • When the bread is cooked, remove from grill and spread on pesto. Cover with sliced mozzarella and sun dried tomatoes.
  • Return to grill and set heat to low. Shut the cover and leave the flatbread in for a few minutes until the cheese starts to melt.
  • Remove the flatbread from the grill and place on a cutting board. Slice the flatbread into smaller pieces and serve while they're warm.

Notes

  • Can use this same dough recipe to make pizza dough. It works for flatbread or pizza.
  • You can also try this with goat cheese instead of mozzarella and the results would be equally fantastic!
  • These cook up fairly quickly, making them a great party appetizer that your guests can personalize.
