Cheese N Bacon Flatbread Recipes

BACON, EGG AND CHEESE FLATBREADS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Divide the naan between 2 foil-lined baking sheets and bake until crisp, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels, then crumble. Remove 1 tablespoon bacon drippings from the skillet and reserve for frying the eggs.
• Add the onion to the remaining drippings in the skillet and increase the heat to medium high. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until browned and tender, 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook until most of the liquid evaporates, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper and hot sauce.
• Spread the onion-tomato mixture on the naan and top each with 2 slices cheese. Return to the oven until the cheese melts, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the reserved bacon drippings in the empty skillet over medium-high heat and crack in the eggs. Season with salt and pepper and cook until the whites are just cooked through, about 3 minutes.
• Top each flatbread with a fried egg; sprinkle with the bacon. Toss the greens with the vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Serve the flatbreads with the salad and more hot sauce.

GARLIC CHEESE FLATBREAD

Steps:

• In a cup or small bowl, sprinkle yeast over the surface of the lukewarm water. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes to dissolve.
• In a large bowl, stir together the flour, salt and sugar. Pour in the yeast mixture along with the olive oil. Beat with a sturdy spoon until dough is stiff enough to pull away from the sides of the bowl. Cover, and set aside until doubled in size, about 35 minutes.
• Remove the dough from the bowl and knead briefly on a floured surface. Roll the dough out to 1/4 to 1/2 inch thickness or to the size of your baking sheet. Place on a greased baking sheet and spread butter over the top. Sprinkle with garlic powder, Parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese. Let rest while you preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown and cheese is bubbly. Serve warm.

BEET, BACON AND HERBED GOAT CHEESE FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Wrap the beets in aluminum foil and roast in the oven until the beets are tender and a paring knife inserted in the center is met with no resistance, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Once cooked, set aside until they are cool enough to handle. Then, using a paper towel, rub the skin off the beets and then cut into moons or dice.
• Mix the goat cheese with the rosemary and thyme until combined and set aside.
• Gather up the rest of the ingredients and have them at the ready before you grill your bread.
• Preheat a cast-iron grill pan, or a grill, to medium-high heat. Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and stretch and press with your hands to form a thin, rectangular shape. If you need to, pick up the dough and let the natural weight of the dough stretch itself out. It doesn't need to be perfect, matter of fact it is better when it's not. Once you have the dough in the shape you like, brush one side of the dough with olive oil and lay that side down flat onto the preheated grill. Cook the dough until it is charred and has a crisp texture, about 5 minutes, brush the other side with some oil and then flip the dough and char the second side. Once the bread is charred and cooked, remove it from the grill and assemble the flatbread.
• Spread the herbed goat cheese onto the flatbread. Toss the arugula with some lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper and then place it on the flatbread. Top with sliced beets and crispy bacon and another drizzle of olive oil. Cut the flatbread and serve.
• In a liquid measuring cup, combine the warm water, yeast and sugar. Allow the yeast to dissolve and bloom, about 5 minutes. Once bloomed, add the olive oil.
• Meanwhile, in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour and salt. Stream in the water/yeast mixture and as the dough begins to come together, switch to a dough hook attachment. Allow the dough to knead, adding a bit more flour if needed, so that the dough releases from the sides of the bowl, 1 to 3 minutes. You should be able to touch the dough and not have the dough stick to your fingers. Once the dough has kneaded and has pulled away from the sides of the bowl, remove the dough from bowl to a floured work surface and, with floured hands, continue to knead it by hand for 1 to 2 minutes. Then form the dough into a round ball and place it into a large bowl sprayed with nonstick spray. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean dish towel and let the dough rise in a warm area of your kitchen until it doubles in size, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. After the dough has risen it is ready to be cooked however you'd like!
• Sugar is used to feed the yeast which will help the dough to grow. Bread flour will give you a chewier texture because the flour has more gluten. You don't need to use a thermometer to get the water temperature, it should just feel warm to the touch.
