Cheesy Lemon Flatbread Pizza with Hot Honey
Description
The Cheesy Lemon Flatbread Pizza combines a tender flatbread dough made from flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, warm milk, Greek yogurt, and honey that rests for up to two hours to develop texture. The dough provides a soft yet supportive base for toppings. A lemon zest, garlic, and olive oil mixture adds brightness and depth when applied before toppings.
Bacon is cooked until beginning to crisp but left somewhat tender to finish crisping in the oven. Mozzarella and a whole burrata ball provide layers of creamy and melty cheese. Roasted vegetables or leftovers such as broccoli add texture and vegetal contrast. Thin slices of lemon scattered across the top contribute fresh citrus aroma and an eye-catching appearance. After baking, hot honey is drizzled over for a sweet-spicy finish, and microgreens add a fresh peppery garnish. Parmesan cheese sprinkles add umami richness to the assembled pizza.
This pizza is a creative, flavorful combination that balances citrus, creaminess, smoky bacon, and spicy-sweet honey offering a multi-dimensional eating experience. It works well as a casual meal or appetizer, featuring both fresh and cooked ingredients thoughtfully combined.
Ingredients
flatbread
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk warm
- ½ cup yogurt plain, Greek
- 1 teaspoon honey
toppings
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest fresh
- 1 garlic minced, clove
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 lices Bacon chopped
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese freshly grated
- 1 burrata cheese 8-ounce ball
- 1 cup broccoli or your favorite vegetable! roasted, leftover, etc, roasted
- 1 lemon very thinly sliced
- hot honey for drizzling
- 1 micro greens for topping, handful or your favorite green
- Parmesan Cheese for sprinkling
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, soda and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, yogurt and honey. Add half of the milk mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until the dough starts to come together. Add the remaining milk gradually, stirring and bringing the dough together with your hands.
- Place the dough in an oiled bowl and cover it. Let it sit in a warm place for 1 to 2 hours. It won't rise much! But let it rest.
- While it rests, prep the rest of the ingredients. Whisk together the lemon zest, garlic and olive oil in a bowl. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the bacon. Cook until the bacon is just starting to crisp - do not cook until completely crunchy, because you want it to crisp in the oven. Remove it from the pan with a slotted spoon and place it on a paper towel. Note: you can replace the bacon with pancetta, prosciutto or even sausage. Whatever you have!
- Grate the cheese and if desired, roast the vegetables. I roast broccoli at 425 for 15 minutes. You can use any vegetables here - or none at all!
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Brush a baking sheet with olive or canola oil.
- Once the dough has rested, remove it from the bowl and knead it a few times on a floured surface, using a little extra flour if it’s too sticky. Divide the dough into 4 separate balls. Roll each ball out into an oval shape. Place 2 of the ovals on a baking sheet (that is most likely all that will fit.).
- Brush the dough with the lemon olive - especially the edges so they get golden and crisp. Cover it with the cheese - freshly grated or burrata or whatever you’re using! Top with any vegetables that you’re using and some very thin lemon slices.
- Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the dough is crisp and the cheese is golden. Remove the pizza from the oven and drizzle with hot honey. Slice and serve!
