General Conference Weekend in a Nutshell

One of our favorite times of year... General Conference weekend. Sitting around the house for two days, being both lazy and edified all at the same time. Fantastic! We made this really yummy Rustic Italian Flatbread and it lasted two days. Saturday night we made individual pizzas and bread sticks and then today we had a ranch chicken pizza for lunch. We took some pictures of course, and here's the recipe as well. Its a combo of Rustic Italian Flatbread (a recipe I found on the Sunday Supper website), Sundell Chicken Ranch Pizza, and the pizza we use to make back-in-the-day.

Dough - Herbed Flatbread

(Makes 16)

* 1 cup warm water (about 110 degrees)

* 1 teaspoon active dry yeast (from one 1/4-ounce envelope)

* 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for surface and hands

* 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for bowl

* Coarse salt

* 1 teaspoon sugar

* 1 large egg whisked with 1 tablespoon water, for egg wash

* Sea salt, for sprinkling

* 1/4 cup fresh rosemary or thyme (or a combination)

Directions

1. Place water in a medium bowl; sprinkle with yeast. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour, oil, 2 teaspoons coarse salt, and the sugar. Stir until dough forms.

2. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface; knead with floured hands until smooth, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a lightly oiled bowl, and cover with plastic wrap. Let dough stand in a warm, draft-free place until it doubles in volume, about 1 hour.

3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 

For Rustic Italian Flatbread

4. Divide dough into 16 equal pieces; cover with plastic wrap. Roll out 1 piece to roughly 4 by 10 inches on a lightly floured surface; transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with egg wash; sprinkle with sea salt and herbs. Repeat with remaining dough, arranging 4 pieces per sheet.

5. Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until crisp and golden, 18 to 22 minutes. Let cool on sheets on a wire rack.

For Pizza

6. Roll the dough out on a pizza stone and bake for 10 minutes.

7. Take it out and put the toppings on then bake until your pizza looks like its ready to eat... like the cheese is melted.
