Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tsp sugar
- 2 1/4 tsp 1 packet yeast
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 4 TBSP olive oil divided
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 medium tomato
- fresh basil to garnish if desired
Instructions
- Combine warm water and sugar in a mixing bowl. Stir a few times, until sugar dissolves. Sprinkle yeast over the top and let sit for about 5 minutes, until yeast looks frothy and is bubbling. Add in salt, minced garlic, 2 TBSP olive oil and onion powder. Mix until combined. Continue mixing with a dough hook (or kneading by hand) and additional 5 minutes. Cover let sit in a warm place until nearly double in size, about 30-45 minutes.
- While you're waiting for the dough to rise, slice tomato thin and set on paper towels to absorb a lot of the moisture.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper. Transfer dough to baking sheet. Dough will be sticky- put a little olive oil on your hands, then gently spread dough out a bit, until it's a rounded 12" oval. Drizzle remaining 2 TBSP olive oil on top of dough. Sprinkle about half the cheese, then arrange tomato slices on dough. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
- Bake at 375 for 30-35 minutes, until the cheese on top of the flatbread is beginning to brown. Let cool and slice to serve. Top with thin slices of fresh basil if you'd like.
- Enjoy!
