Grilled Flat Bread Pizzas

The photos and recipe is from the FatandHappy Blog 

A flat bread is a thinner, crispier dough that does not require yeast and sports less amounts of topping while a pizza tends to have a thicker base with much more toppings and usually covered in cheese.  Flat breads are not laden in heavy, greasy cheese so you don't feel weighted down after eating them.

You can top them with about anything.  One of my favorite is a basil, chicken, mushrooms and feta cheese.

Below you will find a link to the Fat and Happy Blog so you can try all her recipes for grilled flat bread pizzas. Make them for a light meal or to impress your guests.  They make great appetizers too.




Tips and Techniques:  Make the dough and pre-grill the flat breads up to 2 days prior to your event; store the stack in the fridge wrapped in tin foil.  Make the toppings ahead of time too. Then just add the toppings to the flat breads and grill; this will leave you time to enjoy your guests and your party.  Cut into squares, do not cut into triangles.

Flat Bread

2 cups flour
1 cup semolina flour
3/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups warm water

Mix all the dry ingredients together with a fork, slowly add the water.   Depending on the humidity that day you may need more or less water.  Only mix this until it just comes together, careful not to over mix and do not knead it.
Divide the dough in half, half again and again until you have about 12 small balls of dough.  Cover them with plastic wrap and and a warm, wet kitchen towel.  Rest for 20 minutes. 

Roll each dough out, you will need a little flour for the rolling surface, into a thin flat bread, place on the grill for about 2 minutes.  Flip and grill on the other side - just until the dough holds its shape.  Remove and cool if not using immediately or top with toppings and place back on the grill until crispy and melty..
