Ingredients
Scale
For the Flatbread:
- 3-4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 pound pizza dough
- 2 small McIntosh apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 6 ounces Brie cheese, rind removed and sliced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
- Honey, for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for a crispy flatbread crust and melted cheese.
- Prepare Dough: Lightly coat a baking sheet or pizza stone with 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil to prevent sticking. Stretch the pizza dough evenly onto the oiled surface, shaping it into your preferred flatbread size and thickness.
- Add Toppings: Layer the sliced Brie cheese evenly over the stretched dough, followed by the thinly sliced apples. Sprinkle the chopped fresh sage on top to infuse herbaceous notes throughout the flatbread.
- Bake: Place the prepared flatbread in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Bake until the crust is golden brown and crisp, and the Brie has melted beautifully.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the flatbread from the oven and immediately drizzle honey generously over the top to add a sweet contrast. Slice into serving pieces and enjoy warm.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh sage leaves finely chopped to enhance the flavor profile.
- Peeling and coring the apples ensures a tender bite and clean presentation.
- Drizzle honey to taste; adding it just before serving preserves its natural sweetness and prevents burning.
- If you prefer a thinner crust, roll the dough out more before adding toppings.
- This flatbread is best served warm for the perfect melt of Brie and crispness of the crust.
