Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) lukewarm water
  • 1 tsp (6g) salt
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup (150g) cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 4 cloves (20g) garlic, minced
  • 1 cup (115g) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp (1g) dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) red pepper flakes
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
  2. Create a well in the center and pour in the lukewarm water and olive oil.
  3. Stir with a fork until a shaggy dough forms, then knead by hand for 2 minutes until the surface is smooth.
  4. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes to relax the gluten.
  5. Divide the dough into two equal balls. Roll each into a thin oval, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
  6. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
  7. Place the dough in the pan and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  8. Brush the top of the bread with a mixture of olive oil, minced garlic, and oregano.
  9. Scatter the halved cherry tomatoes and shredded mozzarella evenly across the surface.
  10. Place under a broiler for 2–3 minutes, or keep in the pan with a lid on, until the cheese is bubbling and tomatoes have softened.
