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.

SUMMER VEGGIE FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. Put the bread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the asparagus and boil until just barely crisp tender, about 1 minute. Drain and run under cold water to stop the cooking.
• Heat the oil in a small skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until the garlic is golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Brush about half the oil all over the top of the breads. Arrange the zucchini ribbons and asparagus on top and brush lightly with the remaining oil. Sprinkle with salt and top with the Parmesan.
• Bake until the bread is crisp and the zucchini is lightly charred in spots, about 12 minutes. Cut into pieces and serve warm or room temperature.
