Spicy Pineapple and Prosciutto Flatbread

Ingredients:

For the dough:

  • 1 1/2 cups warm water
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Toppings:

  • 1 large pineapple, sliced into wedges
  • 6 slices of prosciutto, torn into pieces
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce (such as Frank's RedHot)
  • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-7 minutes until the yeast is activated.
  3. Add the flour, salt, and olive oil to the bowl. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 10-12 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  6. Punch down the dough and roll it out into a rectangle shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
  7. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  8. Arrange the pineapple wedges on top of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
  9. Drizzle the honey over the pineapple, then sprinkle the torn prosciutto pieces and shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the toppings are caramelized.
  11. Remove from the oven and brush with hot sauce mixture (honey and hot sauce mixed together).
  12. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves before serving.
