Rustic Sun-Dried Tomato and Basil Flatbread

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 10 minutes

Servings 4 servings

Ingredients

• 1 ball of pizza dough
• Cornmeal
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
• 2 cloves garlic minced
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese grated
• 1/2 cup gouda shredded
• ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped (oil-packed, drained)
• Salt & pepper to taste
• Red pepper flakes to taste
• 1/4 cup fresh basil finely chopped

Instructions

1. Place pizza stone in the oven or on a covered grill and heat to 500 degrees F.
2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large oval, about ¼ inch thick. Spread some cornmeal on a pizza peel and transfer rolled out pizza dough to the pizza peel.
3. In a small bowl, mix together melted butter and minced garlic. Brush over the rolled out pizza dough. Sprinkle Parmesan evenly over the dough. Scatter the chopped sun-dried tomatoes on top. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
4. Transfer pizza dough to pizza stone. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden and the crust is cooked through. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Top with basil and drizzle with a little olive oil if desired, slice into strips or squares, and serve warm.
5. Serve with a side salad for a light dinner!
