Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp instant dry yeast, and 1 tsp kosher salt. Stir in 3/4 cup warm water and 2 tbsp olive oil, mixing until a sticky dough forms.
  2. Step 2: Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead for 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise for 1 hour until doubled in size.
  3. Step 3: Preheat your oven to 475°F with a baking stone or sheet inside to heat.
  4. Step 4: Punch down the dough and roll out into a 12-inch thin round. Transfer to a sheet of parchment paper.
  5. Step 5: Brush 1 tbsp olive oil over the dough surface. Arrange 2 thinly sliced medium tomatoes evenly on the dough, then top with 8 oz sliced fresh mozzarella.
  6. Step 6: Slide the parchment with the flatbread onto the hot baking stone and bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is crisp and cheese is melted and slightly golden.
  7. Step 7: Remove from oven, scatter 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves over the flatbread, sprinkle 1/4 tsp black pepper, slice, and serve warm.
