Margherita Flatbread Pizzas

Margherita Flatbread Pizzas
Prep Time
35 min
Number of Servings
makes 4 pizzas
Ingredients

Flatbreads

  • [q:1 1/2] cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • [q:3/4] cup water
  • 2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided

Pizza Toppings

  • [q:1/2] cup pizza sauce
  • 8 slices (16 oz) fresh mozzarella, broken into [q:1/2]-inch pieces
  • [q:1/2] cup basil, chopped chiffonade-style
  • Dried oregano (optional)
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)
Directions

To Make Flatbreads

  1. In a medium bowl, combine flour and water and mix until mixture has a dough-like texture. It will be sticky.
  2. With floured hands, split dough into 4 equal parts and place on a well-floured surface, sprinkling additional flour on top of each piece of dough. With a rolling pin, roll out each piece into a flat disk. Add more flour to surface if needed to keep it from sticking. The dough should be about N-inch thick. The shape does not need to be perfect.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°.
  4. Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and add about [q:1/2] teaspoon of the oil. Add first flatbread and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until lightly toasted and dough is cooked through. Cook remaining flatbreads, adding [q:1/2] teaspoon of oil to skillet each time. (You can make flatbreads ahead of time; they will keep for a few days in the fridge and 1 month in the freezer. Layer them between sheets of wax or parchment paper if you freeze them.)

To Assemble Pizzas

  1. Place flatbreads on a baking sheet.
  2. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce to each. Top with mozzarella, tomatoes, basil, and a sprinkle of oregano and red pepper flakes.
  3. Bake for 8 minutes and serve warm.

Meatballs

  1. To make the meatballs, place the oats in a blender. Blend on high for 2 minutes, until the oats form a flour. Set the oat flour aside.
  2. Spray a large skillet with the olive oil spray and set the skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and celery. Cook the vegetables for 2 to 3 minutes, until the onion is translucent.

Add the onion and celery to the beef mixture and mix the ingredients together with your hands. Roll the meat mixture into 16 ([q:1 1/2] inch) balls.

Gravy

  1. To make the gravy, add the cornstarch to the skillet and whisk it together with the leftover fat from the meat until the mixture is bubbly, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the broth, coconut milk, coconut aminos and mustard. Increase the heat to medium-high and simmer the gravy for 5 minutes to thicken it.
