Zucchini And Olive Flatbread Food

ROASTED ZUCCHINI FLATBREAD WITH HUMMUS, ARUGULA, GOAT CHEESE, AND ALMONDS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the zucchini on a baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil, then sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt; mix well and spread to 1 layer. Roast until browned and very tender, about 30 minutes, stirring halfway through.
• 2. Warm the pita on a grill or griddle until nicely toasted, but still soft, and spread each with 1 heaping tablespoon hummus. Top each piece with 1 tablespoon crumbled goat cheese, 1/4 of the roasted zucchini, about 1/2 cup baby arugula, and 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped almonds. Serve with a lemon wedge.

ZUCCHINI AND OLIVE FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Place an oven rack in the lower third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle. With a pastry brush, brush 1 tablespoon of the oil over the dough. Using the tines of a fork, prick the dough all over. Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer on top of the dough. Drizzle the zucchini with oil. Bake the dough for 18 to 20 minutes until the edges begin to brown. Remove the bread from the oven, sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of oregano, the cheeses, and the olives. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes until the cheeses are melted and bubbly.
• Sprinkle the flatbread with the remaining oregano, cut into wedges and serve.

GRILLED FLATBREAD WITH SUMMER SQUASH

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium. Combine the red onion, lemon juice and a big pinch of salt in a medium bowl; toss well. Cut the pizza dough into 4 pieces. On a lightly floured surface, press one piece of dough with your fingertips to make a 4- to 5-inch round, then roll out into an 8-inch round. Repeat with the remaining dough.
• Combine the zucchini and/or yellow squash, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt and the red pepper flakes in a large bowl; toss well to coat. Grill until well marked and tender, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.
• Combine 2 tablespoons za'atar, a pinch of salt and the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in a small bowl. Grill the dough rounds until marked on the bottom and starting to bubble up in spots, about 3 minutes. Flip the dough, brush with the za'atar oil and top with the mozzarella and zucchini and/or squash. Cook until the dough is marked on the bottom and the mozzarella melts, about 3 minutes.
• Remove each flatbread to a plate, scatter the feta and red onion on top and sprinkle with the remaining 1 teaspoon za'atar, a pinch of salt and the cilantro.

MOROCCAN OLIVE FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Make the spice mixture by combining all of the seasonings in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Put the flour, sugar, salt, pepper and olives in a large mixing bowl and stir to combine. Add the olive oil and stir vigorously with a fork. Add the water and continue to stir until a ball forms. Sprinkle a work surface liberally with flour and turn the dough out onto the surface. Knead until the dough is velvety smooth, about 2 minutes. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Remove the dough from the refrigerator and flatten into a disk on a floured surface. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out as thinly as possible into an oval. Roll the dough onto the pin and transfer it to a baking sheet that has been brushed with olive oil.
• Brush the dough with extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkle with the spice mixture. Place the pan in the oven until the bread is crisp and deep golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, let cool, and break into pieces. The flatbread can be made up to 2 days in advance, wrapped in plastic wrap, and kept in a dry place.
