Grilled Mushroom Flatbread Food

GRILLED FLATBREAD WITH WILD MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• For the dough: Stir together the sugar in 2 cups warm water in a medium bowl until dissolved. Sprinkle the yeast over the water, cover with a clean kitchen towel and let sit until the mixture becomes slightly foamy, about 5 minutes. If the mixture doesn't become foamy, it means the yeast is dead; throw the mixture out and start over with a new packet of yeast.
• Add the flour and salt to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook and mix on low speed until combined. Add the yeast mixture and the olive oil and knead on low speed for 4 minutes. Raise the mixer speed to medium-low and knead until the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl, about 6 minutes. Raise the mixer speed to medium and mix until the dough is smooth, pliable, and elastic, 5 minutes more. Lightly oil a large, clean bowl and transfer the dough to the bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rest in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• For the mushrooms: Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add half of the portobello mushrooms, half of the oyster mushrooms, 3 sprigs thyme and half of the bay leaf to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms no longer give off liquid and are golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add a pinch of salt, stir and transfer the mushrooms to a large bowl. Return the pan to the stovetop over medium-high heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. When it has melted, add the remaining mushrooms, thyme and bay leaf. Cook the second batch in the same manner as above. Add a pinch of salt, stir and transfer the mushrooms to the bowl with the first batch. Set aside.
• To assemble: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. If you'd like to grill your crust first, preheat a grill for cooking over medium heat.
• Dust your work surface with flour and cut the dough in half. Using your fingertips, press out each piece into an oval roughly 12 inches long and 4 inches wide. If grilling crust first, brush the dough with olive oil and place on the grill. Grill until cooked through and well-marked on each side, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove from the heat and transfer the flatbreads to the prepared pans. If not grilling, simply transfer one piece of dough to each of the prepared pans and brush with olive oil.
• Divide the mushrooms evenly between the two crusts and top with the truffled Pecorino and the Parmigiano-Reggiano. Bake until the cheese has melted and the flatbreads are golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes if the crusts were grilled and 17 to 20 minutes if not (if your oven can't accommodate both flatbreads on the center rack, use the upper and lower racks and rotate and switch their positions halfway through). Garnish with chives and serve immediately.

GRILLED MUSHROOM FLATBREAD WITH TRUFFLED PECORINO

Steps:

• For the pizza dough: Combine the water, sugar and yeast in the bowl of a mixer with a dough hook attachment. Let sit for 2 minutes to activate the yeast; it will begin to bubble. On low speed, add the flour and salt slowly, then add the olive oil. Once the dough is incorporated, about 4 minutes, remove from the bowl and knead on a lightly-floured surface for about 5 minutes. Place in a lightly-oiled bowl. Let sit in a warm place covered with a damp cloth until the dough has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• For the cheese sauce: Cook the onions and garlic in the olive oil in a large saute pan until translucent, 2 to 4 minutes. Add the heavy cream and simmer until the cream has reduced by half, 12 to 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and add the cheeses. Stir very well until all the cheese has melted. Cover with a lid or foil until ready to use.
• For the flatbreads: Heat grill to medium heat. Toss the mushrooms lightly in the olive oil and some salt and pepper. Grill the mushrooms until lightly charred, turning occasionally, about 6 minutes. Cool slightly, then remove the stems from the oyster mushrooms and slice the cremini mushrooms.
• For assembly: Divide the pizza dough into two equal portions and roll them out on a lightly floured surface to 10 inches long and 4 inches wide. Lightly oil the grates of the grill. Grill the flatbreads for 2 minutes per side. Remove and add 1 cup of the truffled cheese sauce to each flatbread along with the mushrooms and Parmesan. Return the flatbreads to the grill in a low-heated area. Close the lid and cook for about 4 minutes. Sprinkle with the chives, cut each into 8 pieces and serve.

BACON MUSHROOM FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Lay the bacon out onto a rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 14 to 16 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown. Transfer the bacon to a piece of paper towel and set aside to cool.
• Meanwhile, mince 2 cloves of the garlic and add them along with the vinegar to the baking sheet and stir into the bacon fat. Add the mushrooms and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
• In the bowl of a food processor, combine the beans, basil, chives, Parmigiano-Reggiano, lemon zest, lemon juice and olive oil. Roughly chop the remaining 2 cloves of garlic, add to the food processor and blitz well until smooth and spreadable, scraping down the sides of the bowl a few times throughout. Add in 2 tablespoons of water and blitz to combine. If the mixture is still a bit thick, add in the remaining 2 tablespoons of water then season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Spread the flatbreads with Dijon mustard and top each with a good helping of the herby white bean spread. Scatter over some roasted mushrooms and crumble 2 slices of bacon over each flatbread. Finish with the arugula or basil and season with salt and pepper and a little extra virgin olive oil, if desired.

GRILLED STEAK AND MUSHROOM FLATBREAD RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to 350°F (180°C).
• Roll the pizza dough out to ½ inch (1.24 cm) thick in your desired shape and place on a baking sheet. Brush ¼ cup (60 ml) olive oil over both sides of the dough.
• Break apart the bunapi and oyster mushrooms into thick chunks. Transfer to a small bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and ½ tablespoon Grill Mates® Montreal Steak Seasoning.
• Slice the flat iron steak into ½-inch-thick strips. Transfer to a medium bowl and toss with 1½ tablespoons of olive oil and the remaining 1 tablespoon Grill Mates® Montreal Steak Seasoning.
• Arrange the steak strips on one side of the grill. Cook until light pink in the center, 3-4 minutes per side. Arrange the mushrooms on the other side of the grill and cook until lightly browned around the edges and tender, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the steak and mushrooms to a cutting board. Break apart some of the mushrooms and chop the steak strips into smaller, bite-size pieces.
• Place the oiled pizza dough directly on the grill grates. Close the lid and grill for about 4 minutes, until the bottom is light browned and cooked through. Flip the pizza dough and sprinkle with the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Scatter the mushrooms and steak on top of the cheese. Sprinkle with more Grill Mates® Montreal Steak Seasoning. Close the lid and cook for another 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the pizza dough is cooked through.
• Remove the flatbread from the grill and top with the McCormick® Dried Parsley and remaining ½ tablespoon olive oil. Serve immediately.
• Enjoy!
