Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Whole wheat flour | 125g |
| All-purpose flour | 125g |
| Water | 160g |
| Extra virgin olive oil | 40g |
| Fine salt | 5g |
| Instant yeast for savory preparations | 5g |
| Fresh rosemary | 1g |
| All-purpose flour (for rolling) | 25g |
| Stracchino cheese | 80g |
| Prosciutto crudo (cured ham) | 80g |
| Fresh figs | 2 |
| Walnut halves | 20g |
| Ground black pepper | A pinch |
| Fresh thyme | To taste |
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine both flours, salt, fresh rosemary (finely chopped), and instant yeast. Start mixing on a low speed. Gradually pour in the olive oil and water, continuing to mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough: Once the dough comes together, knead it for a few minutes until smooth and elastic. This step can be done either in the mixer or by hand on a clean surface.
- Roll out the dough: Dust your work surface lightly with some all-purpose flour. Roll the dough into a rectangle or circle until it reaches a thickness of about 8mm (approximately 1/3 inch).
- Shape the flatbreads: Use a round cutter (about 11 cm in diameter) to cut out the flatbreads.
- Cook the flatbreads: Lightly grease a frying pan with olive oil, spreading it evenly using a brush. Heat the pan over medium-low heat. Add the flatbreads and cook for about 5 minutes on one side, then flip them over, pricking the top with a fork to allow air to escape and cook for another 5 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Prepare the toppings: While the flatbreads are cooking, slice the figs into quarters. Cut the prosciutto into thin slices.
- Assemble the flatbreads: Once the flatbreads are cooked, spread a generous layer of stracchino cheese on top. Add a slice of prosciutto crudo and a few pieces of fig. Garnish with walnut halves and fresh thyme leaves for a burst of flavor.
- Serve: Lightly season the flatbreads with a pinch of freshly ground black pepper before serving. Enjoy your whole wheat flatbreads warm and crispy, perfect as a savory snack or appetizer.
