Mushroom and Thyme Flatbread

Mushroom and Thyme Flatbread is a delightful Moroccan-inspired dish that combines earthy mushrooms with fragrant thyme on a crisp flatbread base. This dairy-free pizza is perfect for a light meal or a flavorful appetizer.

Ingredients

• Whole wheat flour - 150 grams
• Warm water - 100 ml
• Active dry yeast - 5 grams
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Button mushrooms - 150 grams, sliced
• Fresh thyme leaves - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Onion - 1 small, thinly sliced
• Cumin powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - to taste
• Fresh parsley - for garnish

Steps

1. In a small bowl, combine warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil, then knead until a smooth dough forms, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for 20 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
4. Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F).
5. In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes.
6. Add the minced garlic, sliced mushrooms, cumin, paprika, and black pepper. Cook until the mushrooms are tender and any liquid has evaporated, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the fresh thyme and remove from heat.
7. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into two equal pieces. Roll each piece into a flat round shape about 1/4 inch thick.
8. Place the flatbreads on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread the mushroom mixture evenly over each flatbread.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
10. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
