CALIFORNIA FLAT BREAD RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain cooked bacon on paper towels but leave the fat in the pan. Add onions and cook in bacon fat until softened. Add chicken to the pan and sauté, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from skillet. Place flatbread on a large baking sheet. Sprinkle cheese over flatbread, then top with chicken and bacon. Bake until the cheese is melted, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, mix together ranch and Sriracha in a small bowl. Top freshly baked flatbread with avocado and green onions. Drizzle with spicy ranch and serve.

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor combine the yeast, sugar, flour, salt and thyme. Pulse to combine. Add the water in a steady stream until the dough begins to form a ball, turn it on to a board and knead with the heel of your hand until the dough is smooth and elastic.
• Coat a bowl with oil. Place dough in bowl, and cover with a damp cloth. Put in a warm spot to rise until double in size, about 1 hour.
• When the dough has doubled in size, punch the dough, scrape it onto the counter and knead it lightly into a smooth ball. Cut into 20 pieces and with a rolling pin roll out to form very flat 5 to 6-inch circles.
• Preheat a stove top grill pan over medium high. Do not oil. Place bread on hot grill and cook without touching it until you see bubbles on the surface, about 1 to 2 minutes. Turn and continue to cook 1 to 2 minutes more or until bread has puffed up. Serve immediately.
