Cheesy Flatbread Recipes

Steps:

• Mix 1 cup grated Gruyere, 3 tablespoons softened butter, 2 teaspoons chopped rosemary or thyme, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Spread on 2 pieces lavash (or other flatbread); top with 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion. Bake at 425 degrees F on a parchment-lined baking sheet until golden and crisp, 10 minutes. Season with salt; cut into pieces.

Steps:

• In bowl, combine water, egg whites, salt, sugar and yeast. Using wooden spoon, stir in 2 cups (500 mL) of the flour, cheese and thyme; beat until smooth. Add enough of the remaining flour to form soft dough. Turn out onto lightly floured surface; knead several times to form ball. Place in greased bowl, turning to grease all over. Cover with plastic wrap; let rise for 45 minutes.
• Punch down dough and turn out onto lightly floured surface; divide into 4 portions. Roll out each portion into 1/8-inch (3 mm) thick circle or oval. Place on lightly greased baking sheets; prick all over with fork. Brush lightly with water; sprinkle with poppy and sesame seeds.
• Bake in 400°F (200°C) oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer to racks and let cool. Break into shards. (Flatbread can be stored at room temperature in airtight container for up to 3 days.).

Steps:

• Pat dough onto the bottom and up the sides of a greased 14-inch pizza pan or 15 x 10 x 1 inch jelly roll pan.
• Brush olive oil over bread.
• Sprinkle with paprika, basil and garlic.
• Sprinkle with cheese.
• Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
• Bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes or until golden.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large bowl fold together the goat cheese, cream cheese, garlic and herbs. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Line a sheet tray with parchment paper and lightly flour a work surface. With a rolling pin, roll the dough into an oval shape that fits a half sheet tray and lay out on the parchment paper.
• Spread dough with the goat cheese mixture, leaving a 1/2-inch edge. Arrange the red onion in a row, overlapping slightly. Repeat with the zucchini.
• Brush the red onion, zucchini, and crust with olive oil. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes, salt and pepper, to taste, and the Parmesan. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes.
• Remove from oven and using a pizza cutter, slice into thin strips for serving.

Steps:

• In a cup or small bowl, sprinkle yeast over the surface of the lukewarm water. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes to dissolve.
• In a large bowl, stir together the flour, salt and sugar. Pour in the yeast mixture along with the olive oil. Beat with a sturdy spoon until dough is stiff enough to pull away from the sides of the bowl. Cover, and set aside until doubled in size, about 35 minutes.
• Remove the dough from the bowl and knead briefly on a floured surface. Roll the dough out to 1/4 to 1/2 inch thickness or to the size of your baking sheet. Place on a greased baking sheet and spread butter over the top. Sprinkle with garlic powder, Parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese. Let rest while you preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown and cheese is bubbly. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Measure the flour, yeast and salt into a large bowl. Mix 300ml hand-hot water with the oil and honey in a jug, then pour into the dry mix, stirring all the time to make a soft dough.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, then knead for 5 mins until the dough no longer feels sticky, sprinkling with a little more flour as you need it. Now stretch it to fit the Swiss roll tin.
• Mix the garlic with the butter, then dot over the dough. Sprinkle over the cheese and snip over the thyme. Cover the bread with lightly oiled cling film, then leave in a warm place to rise for 40 mins.
• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Remove the cling film, then bake the bread for 30 mins until golden and risen. Leave to cool for 10 mins, then cut into 12 pieces and serve.

Steps:

• Heat dressing in large skillet on medium heat. Add onions; cook on medium-low heat 20 min. or until golden brown, stirring frequently. Add garlic; cook and stir 2 min. Remove from heat.
• Heat oven to 400°F. Unroll dough onto baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray; press into 14x12-inch rectangle. Bake 5 min.
• Sprinkle crust with cheese; top with onions and peppers.
• Bake 10 to 12 min. or until edges of crust are golden brown.
