Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 4 ounces prosciutto
- 2 peaches, sliced
- 8 ounces burrata cheese
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and sugar. Create a well in the center and add olive oil and warm water.
- Mix the ingredients until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 15 minutes at room temperature to allow the gluten to relax.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each portion into a thin oval or circular shape, approximately 1/8 inch thick.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Grill each flatbread for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown grill marks appear and the dough is cooked through.
- Remove the grilled flatbreads and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.
- Slice the peaches into thin wedges. Tear the burrata cheese into rustic pieces.
- Arrange the prosciutto slices over the warm flatbreads, followed by peach slices and torn burrata.
- Garnish with fresh basil leaves and drizzle with a small amount of extra virgin olive oil.
- Serve immediately while the flatbreads are still warm and the cheese is soft and creamy.
Tips
- Flour Power: For the best texture, make sure to use high-quality all-purpose flour. You can also experiment with whole wheat flour for a nuttier flavor.
- Dough Resting: Don’t skip the resting step! Allowing the dough to relax helps create a softer, more pliable flatbread that grills beautifully.
- Grill Temperature: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. This ensures a nice char on the flatbreads without overcooking them.
- Keep it Fresh: Use ripe, in-season peaches for the best flavor. If peaches are out of season, nectarines or plums can be great alternatives.
- Burrata Bliss: When tearing the burrata, be generous! The creamy cheese is the star of the show, so don’t hold back on the portions.
- Garnish with Flair: Fresh basil is a must for garnish, but consider adding a drizzle of balsamic glaze for an extra layer of flavor.
- Serve Warm: For the ultimate experience, serve the flatbreads immediately after assembling while they are still warm. The combination of warm bread and soft cheese is heavenly!
