Ingredients

Spelt flatbread (Notes 1, 2)
  • 450 g whole spelt flour 1 lbs/ 1 ¾ cup
  • 250 ml water 8.5 fl.oz/ 1 cup, cold
  • 1 teaspoon salt fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon honey
Fig cheese topping:
  • 30 g hazelnut 1 oz/ ¼ cup, whole
  • 250 g cream cheese 8.8 oz/ 1 ⅛ cup
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 2 thyme sprigs
  • 4-5 figs
  • 125 g goat cheese 4.5 oz, blue
  • 12 salami very thin slices
Salami cheese topping:
  • 1 red bell pepper large
  • 100 g cheese Gouda, Cheddar etc, 3.5 oz/ 1 cup, grated
  • 3 spring onions
  • 12 salami very thin slices
  • black pepper fine

Instructions

Spelt dough:
    Cup of Yum
  1. Dough: Mix the spelt flour and the salt in a medium bowl or the food processor. Add the water little by little and knead until everything comes together. Turn the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead until the dough is smooth. Form a ball and wrap it in plastic foil. Leave to rest for 1 hour.
  2. Preheat the oven to 220 degrees Celsius/ 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  3. Form: When the resting hour is up, divide the dough into 6 balls. Flour the working surface lightly. Flatten each ball a little and roll it very thinly in the form of a flatbread. Place the flatbreads on trays lined with baking paper.
  4. Bake: You can bake the spelt flatbread as it is now, which is without any toppings. In this case, sprinkle the bread lightly with some olive oil, a little coarse sea salt, and maybe some rosemary, fresh or dried. Check after about 10 minutes already; the bread should have a nice color and slightly crispy edges.
Toppings:
  1. Mix the cream cheese, milk, thyme leaves, and salt to pepper to taste in a small bowl. Spread the cream cheese on all the pieces of bread.
Fig flatbread:
  1. Top: Slice the figs. Halve the salami slices. Arrange the figs slices and half of the salami slices on 3 of the flatbreads. Crumble the blue goat cheese on top and bake for about 12 minutes until the edges of the flatbreads are slightly crispy.
  2. Caramelize hazelnuts: In the meantime, melt the honey in a small non-stick pan. Add the hazelnuts and let caramelize slightly. Don't leave the pan unattended, and shake it very often. Transfer the caramelized hazelnuts to a plate and let cool slightly. Take the flatbread out of the oven and arrange the caramelized hazelnuts on top.
Salami flatbreads:
  1. Cut the pepper into thin strips. Chop the spring onions. Arrange the pepper slices, the rest of the salami slices, and the onions on the other 3 flatbreads.
Bake flatbread:
  1. Bake: Sprinkle with the grated cheese and bake for 12 minutes until the edges of the flatbreads are slightly crispy.
