For the grill or the oven—wherever your heated hands (and hungry stomachs) beckon you. —
INGREDIENTS (Serves 6)
Flatbread Dough
1 cup warm water
1 TB sugar
1 TB active dry yeast
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 TB olive oil
1 tsp salt
Grilled Zucchini Topping
3 zucchinis
1 1/2 cup firm mozzarella
2 TB olive oil
1 pinch salt
1 pinch pepper
1/2 red onion or shallot, thinly sliced
2 TB parmesan, grated
DIRECTIONS
Dough
In a large bowl slightly mix together the water, sugar and yeast. Wait 3-5 minutes until mixture becomes foamy. In another bowl combine flour, olive oil and salt. Once water mixture becomes foamy mix together the dry and wet ingredients until a soft dough forms. Knead dough for 7-10 minutes until smooth. Place kneaded dough in a warm place and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Flatbread
Slice zucchini into coins or using a peeler slice into long strips. Brush with oil and place on hot grill to form grill marks. Grate mozzarella with a cheese grater. Divide flatbread dough into 6 even pieces and roll out into long flatbreads or round pizza shapes, sprinkle with some cheese. Lay grilled zucchini pieces and onion over mozzarella, get creative! Sprinkle parmesan, salt and pepper to taste.
