Truffle Asiago Flat Bread Pizza Food

ARTISAN ASIAGO BREAD

Steps:

• In large bowl, mix 1 1/2 cups of the flour, the sugar and yeast. Add warm water. Beat with whisk or electric mixer on low speed 1 minute, scraping bowl frequently. Cover tightly with plastic wrap; let stand about 1 hour or until bubbly.
• Stir in oil, rosemary and salt. Stir in enough remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until a soft, smooth dough forms. Let stand 15 minutes.
• Place dough on lightly floured surface. Knead 5 to 10 minutes or until dough is smooth and springy. Knead in 1 cup of the cheese. Grease large bowl with shortening. Place dough in bowl, turning dough to grease all sides. Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let rise in warm place 45 to 60 minutes or until dough has doubled in size. Dough is ready if indentation remains when touched.
• Lightly grease uninsulated cookie sheet with shortening or cooking spray. Place dough on lightly floured surface. Gently shape into football-shaped loaf, about 12 inches long, by stretching sides of dough downward to make a smooth top. Place loaf with smooth side up on cookie sheet. Coat loaf generously with flour. Cover loosely with plastic wrap; let rise in warm place 45 to 60 minutes or until dough has almost doubled in size.
• Place 8- or 9-inch square pan on bottom rack of oven; add hot water to pan until about 1/2 inch from the top. Heat oven to 450°F.
• Spray loaf with cool water; sprinkle with flour. Using serrated knife, carefully cut 1/2-inch-deep slash lengthwise down center of loaf. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup cheese into slash.
• Bake 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 400°F. Bake 20 to 25 minutes longer or until loaf is deep golden and sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack; cool.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and stir in mushrooms and garlic; sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Cook and stir until the mushrooms have given off their juice and the juice has evaporated, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and set mushroom mixture aside.
• Heat 1 more tablespoon olive oil in a separate large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot, and place asparagus into the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until asparagus pieces are very well browned (almost but not quite burned in spots), about 8 minutes. Remove asparagus from skillet and set aside.
• Reduce heat to medium, and cook bacon in the same skillet until crisp, about 10 minutes; stir often. Drain excess grease as the bacon cooks, for crisper pieces.
• Remove bacon pieces and place on a paper towel-lined plate; blot with paper towels to reduce grease.
• Place the flatbread crust onto the prepared baking sheet, and spread marinara sauce over the crust.
• Spread the mushrooms and garlic evenly over the pizza.
• Spread asparagus over the pizza.
• Arrange bacon pieces on the pizza.
• Sprinkle mozzarella cheese all over the pizza, followed by Asiago cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the cheeses are melted and bubbling, 12 to 15 minutes.

FLATBREAD WITH SAUSAGE, BELL PEPPERS, AND ASIAGO

Steps:

• 1. Set a pizza stone on the center rack. Preheat oven to 450°F, or higher if possible.
• 2. Sprinkle some flour on the work surface.
• 3. Divide the dough into halves or thirds, depending on how thin or thick you like your flatbread. Work the dough, rolling it into a ball, then flattening it into a circle with the palm of your hand. Press with your fingertips from the center outward, widening the circle. Start pushing this small circle into an oblong or rectangular shape, always leveling the thickness of the dough, so that the dough is about 14 by 6 inches.
• 4. Sprinkle some cornmeal on a pizza peel or the underside of a cookie sheet. Pick up the dough and, in one deft movement, transfer it to the peel.
• 5. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over the surface of the flatbread. Sprinkle half (or one third if making three flatbreads) of the Asiago evenly over the dough and then scatter one half or one third (if making three flatbreads) of the sausage and pepper over the surface.
• 6. Pick up the peel and open the oven door. Gently slide the flatbread onto the stone; a few shakes of the peel and the dough should slide right off, thanks to the cornmeal.
• 7. Bake the flatbread until the surface is bubbling and the bottom of the crust is turning a dark, golden color and crisping nicely, 15 minutes or less. Use the peel to remove the flatbread from the oven, cut into slices, and serve. While the first flatbread is baking, ready the next one. Bake it as you enjoy the first one. Repeat until you've used all the dough and other ingredients.
