Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 200 grams
• Warm water - 120 ml
• Active dry yeast - 5 grams
• Sugar - 5 grams
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Zucchini - 100 grams, grated
• Sweet corn (canned or frozen) - 100 grams
• Green onions - 2, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish)

Steps

1. In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil.
3. Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise for 30 minutes in a warm place.
4. While the dough rises, prepare the topping. In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Add grated zucchini, sweet corn, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the zucchini is tender. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
6. Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F). Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into two equal portions.
7. Roll each portion into a flat round shape about 1/2 cm thick. Place the flatbreads on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
8. Spread the zucchini and corn mixture evenly over each flatbread. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
9. Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
