Ingredients
Scale
Flatbread Base
- 3-4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 pound pizza dough
Toppings
- 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 the oven: Set your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius) and allow it to fully preheat, ensuring even cooking.
- Prepare the baking surface: Lightly coat a baking sheet or pizza stone with extra virgin olive oil to prevent sticking and add flavor.
- Shape the dough: Stretch the pizza dough evenly onto the oiled baking sheet or pizza stone, forming the base for your flatbread.
- Add toppings: Layer the sliced Brie cheese evenly over the dough, followed by an even distribution of thin apple slices and scattered chopped fresh sage for aromatic flavor.
- Bake the flatbread: Place the prepared flatbread in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the Brie cheese has melted beautifully.
- Finish with honey: Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle honey generously over the hot flatbread to add a sweet contrast.
- Slice and serve: Cut into 8 equal pieces and serve warm as an elegant appetizer or tasty snack.
Notes
- You can substitute McIntosh apples with other sweet-tart varieties like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp if desired.
- For a thinner crust, roll the dough out more before baking.
- The rind of Brie can be eaten, but removing it results in a smoother melt and milder flavor.
- Use a pizza stone for a crispier crust if available; otherwise a baking sheet works well.
- Drizzle honey just before serving to preserve its texture and sweetness.
- Optional: add a sprinkle of crushed walnuts or fresh arugula after baking for extra texture and flavor.
