Equipment

  • Baking sheets to bake the flatbreads
  • 1 large bowl to make flatbread dough
  • cutting board
  • sharp knife
  • Rolling Pin
  • 1 fry pan to caramelize our onions

Ingredients

Flatbread dough

  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 tsp instant yeast
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 12 oz beer of your choice
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • extra flour for kneading and rolling

Flatbread Toppings

  • ½ cup sweet onion sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic chopped
  • ⅓ cup halloumi cheese sliced thin
  • 8 fresh figs sliced
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ cup fresh spinach
  • balsamic glaze for drizzling

Instructions

  • Make the dough. Whisk together the flour, yeast and salt. Add the beer and olive oil and mix together until homogenous. It will likely be sticky. Cover the bowl with a towel and wait one hour. The dough will rise a bit.

  • Prepare the onions. In a fry pan, add 1 tbsp of olive oil, the chopped onions and the garlic. Heat over medium high heat and cook the onions for 3-4 minutes, until they are a light golden color. With tongs or a spoon, remove the contents from the heat and set aside.

  • Brown the halloumi. In the same pan, add another tbsp of olive oil and heat over high. Add halloumi slices 1 or 2 at a time. Brown the halloumi for 30 seconds, and then remove from the oil (I used a fork and only browned one side). Set aside.

  • Roll out the dough. Remove the towel and sprinkle in about an extra ¼ cup of flour into the bowl. With your hands, knead the dough and keep adding flour 1 tbsp at a time until it is no longer super sticky but soft and pliable.
    Flour your work surface and your rolling pin to prevent sticking. Slice your dough ball in half if you want two flatbreads, or keep it together to make one large one. On your surface, roll out the dough into a long rectangular shape that will fit on your sheet pan. Keep the dough thick enough that you can transfer it to your pan without tearing.

  • Prepare the flatbread. Preheat the oven to 400℉. Brush each flatbread with one tablespoon of olive oil. Spoon the garlic and onions onto the flatbread, followed by the spinach, halloumi slices and fresh figs.

  • Place the flatbreads into the oven to bake for 10-12 minutes, until the dough looks firm and golden. Remove from the oven and drizzle each flatbread with balsamic glaze. Slice and enjoy.
