Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp instant yeast, and 1/2 tsp salt. Add 3/4 cup warm water and 1 tbsp olive oil, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  2. Step 2: Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic, then place it in an oiled bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise for 45 minutes until doubled in size.
  3. Step 3: Preheat your oven to 450°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll the dough into a 12-inch oval shape and transfer to the baking sheet.
  4. Step 4: Brush the dough with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and bake for 10 minutes until starting to brown.
  5. Step 5: Remove from oven and crumble 4 oz goat cheese evenly over the flatbread. Return to oven and bake for another 5 minutes until cheese softens and edges crisp.
  6. Step 6: Meanwhile, gently warm 2 tbsp honey with 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes in a small pan over low heat for 2 minutes until fragrant.
  7. Step 7: Drizzle the spicy honey over the baked flatbread and sprinkle with 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves and 1 tbsp chopped rosemary before slicing and serving warm.
