Sharing a delicious and sophisticated flatbread can be a highlight of any gathering. Our gourmet anchovy and garlic flatbread combines bold flavors with a crispy, golden crust, perfect for entertaining guests or enjoying as a special treat.
Ingredients Needed
- 1 sheet of pre-made pizza dough or flatbread base
- 3-4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup of high-quality anchovy fillets
- 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Preparation Steps
Start by preheating your oven to 220°C (430°F). Roll out the flatbread dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil and evenly spread the minced garlic over the surface.
Arrange the anchovy fillets evenly across the dough. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top, ensuring good coverage. Season with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if you like some heat.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crispy, and the cheese is bubbling. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Serving Suggestions
Garnish the flatbread with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness. Slice into squares or strips for easy sharing. This flatbread pairs well with a light salad or a glass of crisp white wine.
Tips for Success
