Chicken Bacon Asparagus Flatbread Pizza Recipes

RUSTIC FLATBREAD PIZZA

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.

SHAVED ASPARAGUS PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• If not already shaped, stretch your pizza dough into a large circle 12-16 inches in diameter and place on your pizza pan or stone. Drizzle dough with a thin stream of olive oil.
• Slice fresh mozzarella as thinly as possible and arrange in a single layer over dough.
• Using a vegetable peeler shave your asparagus into thin ribbons. Use the entire bunch, as you might only get 3 or 4 good ribbons from each spear. Pile asparagus shavings on top of the mozzarella. The asparagus WILL cook down so you want to use more than you think is necessary.
• Top asparagus with several cranks of black pepper and dot generously with Boursin cheese. (I tend to use 1/4-1/2 a package per pizza.).
• Bake on pizza stone or baking sheet for 15-20 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Let cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing and serving.

BOB'S PHILLY CHEESESTEAK FLATBREAD PIZZA

Steps:

• . Preheat the oven to 375*.
• 2. While the oven is preheating place the balsamic vinegar, honey, and black pepper into a sauce pan and turn the heat to a medium-high. Stirring frequently until reduced to a syrupy density. About half the volume.
• 3. Meanwhile while the Balsamic Vinegar is reducing spread the cream cheese on the flatbread. Place the roast beef slices on the cream cheese. Next spread the peppers and onions evenly over the pizza. Slice the fresh mozzarella and evenly place over the peppers and onions. Sprinkle the parmesan cheese over the mozzarella. Bake until cheese is melted, then broil until cheese browns to your liking. Remove from oven and drizzle the balsamic reduction over pizza, slice, and serve.

BUFFALO CHICKEN FLATBREAD PIZZA

Steps:

• In a sauté pan, over high heat cook chicken thoroughly, approximately 6 minutes. Allow to rest before cutting into ½ dice. Reserve.
• Preheat oven to 425°F Top flatbread with blue cheese dressing. Add diced chicken, the top with blue cheese and mozzarella. Season with salt and pepper.
• Cook flatbread on pizza stone for approximately 8 minutes until crust is crisp and cheese begins to melt.
• Remove from oven, garnish with scallions and buffalo sauce.

ASPARAGUS PIZZA

Steps:

• Trim 1/2 pound asparagus. Cut each stalk in half lengthwise, then crosswise into 2-inch pieces. Form 1 pound refrigerated pizza dough (at room temperature) into an 11-by-15-inch rectangle on an oiled piece of parchment. Top with the asparagus and 1 cup shredded fontina. Slide the crust (on the parchment) onto a preheated pizza stone or inverted baking sheet. Bake at 475˚ until the bottom is crisp, 12 minutes. Top with pesto and red pepper flakes.
