Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of warm water, 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar, and 2 teaspoons of active dry yeast. Stir gently to dissolve, then let the mixture sit undisturbed for about 5–10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 teaspoon of salt. Gradually whisk in 3 to 4 cups of all-purpose flour, one cup at a time, until no dry bits remain.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 45 minutes to 1 hour until doubled.
- Prepare the garlic-cheese topping by combining melted butter, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes, and mixing the cheeses in another bowl.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down, divide into two portions, and shape into ovals about ¼ to ½ inch thick.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven now.
- Transfer one flatbread onto parchment paper, brush with garlic butter mixture, and sprinkle the mixed cheeses evenly.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden brown and bubbly. Remove and repeat with the second flatbread.
