Ingredients

For the flatbread:

2 ½ cups bread flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup parmesan cheese - freshly shredded
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup hot water

For the toppings:

1 cup hummus
1 Greek lamb meatballs - or another protein
1 cup cherry tomatoes - sliced
1/2 cup sliced olives
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup cucumbers - diced
1 cup feta cheese crumbles
top with tzatziki sauce and pickled onions - optional

Instructions

IN ADVANCE - Make lamb meatballs and tzatziki sauce.
Make the flatbread crust.
Combine the flatbread ingredients in a large food processor – flour, parmesan cheese, salt, and red pepper flakes. Pulse and then add the olive oil and hot water. Pulse again until the dough forms into a ball.
Remove the dough to a bowl and either rest until ready to form crust or make the crust immediately.
Use a well-floured surface to roll the flatbread dough out. Add it to a large sheet pan that has been sprayed with oil and sprinkled with cornmeal. Prick the dough with a fork all over the surface.
Par-bake the crust for 8-9 minutes. Remove and add toppings.
2 ½ cups bread flour, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup parmesan cheese, 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, 1 cup hot water
Add some of the toppings. To the par-baked crust, add a layer of hummus, some sliced (cooked) lamb meatballs, chopped tomatoes, sliced olives, and shredded mozzarella cheese.

Bake. Bake for another 9-10 minutes or until you get a crispy crust that is golden brown to your liking. Remove from the oven.
Add remaining toppings. Then add the chopped cucumbers, feta cheese, and pickled onions.

Notes

Storing – Store leftover flatbread (with toppings) in the refrigerator for up to three days.
Freezing – You can freeze the par-baked flatbread for a month or so (tightly wrapped). Just remove it and let it completely thaw out before adding toppings.
