main ingredients:
- 2 cups (480 milliliters) all-purpose flour
- 1 package active dry yeast
- ⅔ cup (160 milliliters) warm water (105°F to 115°F)
seasoning and flavor enhancers:
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
cooking and preparation:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Olive oil or nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 450°F (230°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lightly coating it with olive oil and dusting with cornmeal for a crisp base.
- Transform the prepared dough into elegant 12×4-inch oval shapes, gently stretching and rolling to achieve a thin, rustic profile.
- Generously brush the dough surfaces with extra virgin olive oil, ensuring complete coverage for enhanced flavor and golden crispness.
- Distribute artichoke tapenade evenly across the flatbread surface, creating a rich and tangy foundation for the remaining toppings.
- Sprinkle shredded Fontina cheese generously over the tapenade, allowing it to melt and create a creamy texture during baking.
- Arrange halved cherry tomatoes, sliced Kalamata olives, and thinly sliced red onion across the cheese, creating a vibrant and colorful Mediterranean-inspired topping.
- Transfer the prepared flatbreads into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15 minutes, watching for a golden-brown crust and melted cheese.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of herbal freshness.
- Slice into wedges and serve immediately while warm and crisp, perfect for sharing or enjoying as a delightful appetizer.
