Serves 2

Ingredients

For the base:

• 350g bread flour
• 1 x 10g sachet instant dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon castor sugar
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 250ml lukewarm water

For the toppings:

• ¼ cup basil pesto
• 100g mature cheddar
• 6 slices parma ham
• 2 shallots, sliced
• ½ cup dried apricots, chopped
• ¼ cup fresh herbs of choice

Method

1. Place the bread flour, salt, sugar and yeast in a bowl and mix. Then add the water and olive oil and begin to mix. Knead for 10-15mins until smooth. Remove from the bowl and place in a clean bowl that has been lightly oiled, cover with plastic and allow to rest at room temperature until doubled in size, roughly 1hr.
2. Preheat the oven to 220’c.
3. Once the dough has doubled in size, knock back and scrape onto floured baking paper. Roll or press out to desired shape.
4. Spread a thin layer of basil pesto on the flatbread base. Then add grated cheese, sliced onions, chopped apricots and more cheese. Place in the oven and bake for 12-15mins until the base is cooked and the cheese is bubbling.
5. Remove from the oven and top with parma ham and fresh herbs.
