Equipment
- 1 Baking Sheet lined with parchment paper
- 1 Mixing Bowl large
- 1 Rolling Pin
Ingredients
Flatbread
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Toppings
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 bell pepper thinly sliced
- 1 zucchini thinly sliced
- 1/2 red onion thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup baby spinach
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add water and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover and let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C), ensuring it reaches the right temperature for baking the pizza.
- Roll out the dough into a flat, round shape. Ensure it’s evenly spread to support the toppings.
- While the dough rests, prepare the vegetables by slicing the cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion. Keep them thin for even cooking.
- Place the rolled dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread a thin layer of olive oil over the surface, and arrange the vegetables evenly on top. Finish with a generous sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Serving
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown. Allow it to cool slightly before cutting.
- Slice the pizza into 8 pieces and serve warm. It’s delicious as is or with a side salad.
Storage
- To store leftovers, place slices in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat before serving.
