Autumn Glory Apple Flatbread with Caramelized Onions and Ricotta
Ingredients
Dough
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 2/3 cup warm water 105 to 110 F
- 2 tsp active dry yeast
Pizza
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion thinly sliced
- salt & pepper to taste
- 3/4 cup part skim ricotta cheese
- 1/2 tsp fresh thyme minced
- 2 Autumn Glory apples
- 1 cup loosely packed arugula rinsed and well dried
Instructions
- For the dough, stir together the flour and salt in a medium bowl, then make a well in the center.
- Pour the warm water into the well and stir in the yeast. Let sit until frothy, about 5 minutes.
- Stir together the wet and dry ingredients to form a cohesive dough.
- Knead the dough until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes, adding a bit more flour if needed.
- Put the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and turn it to coat with oil.
- Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and set aside in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent and partly tender, about 5 minutes.
- Season the onion lightly with salt and pepper.
- Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook until the onions are nicely browned and quite tender, 30 to 35 minutes longer, stirring occasionally. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 375 F. Lightly oil a rimmed baking sheet.
- Turn the risen dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and punch it down.
- Roll the dough into a rectangle about 10 by 14 inches; if the dough begins to spring back, let it rest for a few minutes before continuing to roll it out.
- Transfer the dough to the baking sheet.
- Stir together the ricotta cheese, thyme, and a good pinch each of salt and pepper in a small bowl.
- Spread the ricotta over the dough, leaving a 3/4 inch border around the edge. Scatter the caramelized onion over the ricotta.
- Halve and core the apples, cutting each half into 1/8 inch slices. Arrange the slices over the base. Brush or drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil over the apples.
- Bake the flatbread until the dough is lightly browned around the edges and the apples are tender, about 20-25 minutes.
- Let cool for a few minutes in the pan before scattering the arugula over and cutting into pieces to serve.
