FIG AND PROSCIUTTO FLATBREAD
2 flatbreads (recipe follows)
Cornmeal for sprinkling
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
2 pinches kosher salt
2 pinches black pepper
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1/2 cup fig jam
4 ounces Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled into pea-sized pieces
3 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
1 scallion, thinly sliced lengthwise, for garnish
One hour before cooking, place a baking stone in the oven and preheat it to 500 degrees.
Roll out 1 flatbread dough as thinly as possible. Place it on a pizza peel sprinkled with cornmeal. Cover the surface with 1 teaspoon oil, 1/4 teaspoon minced garlic, 1 pinch each salt and pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon chopped rosemary. Be sure to leave an outer lip of 1 inch all the way around.
Evenly dot 1/4 cup fig jam and 2 ounces Gorgonzola cheese on the flatbread. Top with half the prosciutto.
Shake the paddle lightly and slide the flatbread onto the baking stone. Bake until browned, about 6 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a firm surface and cut into slices.
Serve immediately, garnished with half the sliced scallion.
Repeat with the remaining dough.
Makes 2 servings.
