Our friends at Recipe for Success shared this idea for a fun and family-friendly meal with us. They note that the “pancakes” — which are really more like flatbreads — can be used to make pizzas or served with dipping sauces. We suggest setting out a variety of cheeses, veggies and toppings and letting everyone in your family make their own flatbread creation!
Ingredients
-
1/2 cup seasonal green leafy vegetables (kale, collard greens, spinach)
-
1 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil
-
cooking spray
-
1 lb. flatbread or pizza dough
- Toppings of your choice: Cheeses, roasted vegetables, pizza sauce…be creative!
-
1/2 cup seasonal green leafy vegetables (kale, collard greens, spinach)
-
1 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil
-
cooking spray
-
1 lb. flatbread or pizza dough
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°F.
- Roll out the dough and divide it into 6 portions. Cover with plastic wrap.
- Finely dice the green leafy vegetables and divide the vegetables into 6 equal portions.
- Sprinkle a clean flat surface with flour. Place one piece of dough on the floured surface. Using a rolling pin, flatten one of the balls of dough into a circle about 7 inches across.
- Brush ¼ teaspoon sesame oil onto the round of dough. Sprinkle a pinch of salt onto the round of dough, then spread the oil and salt around with your fingers to completely coat the round.
- Sprinkle one portion of the vegetables onto the round. Lightly press the vegetables into the dough with your fingers.
- Fold the round in half and then fold in half again. Roll into a ball with your hands.
- Sprinkle the dough ball with a little flour. Flatten it with your hand and roll it out again into a circle about 5 inches in diameter.
- Repeat with the remaining 5 dough balls.
- Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat. Spray with cooking spray. Add one of the dough circles to the pan and cook on one side for 4 minutes or until the bottom side is browned (don’t be scared to take a peek underneath with a pancake turner to lift the edge).
- Flip the pancake over with a spatula or pancake turner. Cook the other side for about 4 more minutes or until the bottom is browned.
- Remove your pancake to a baking sheet. Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven to keep it warm while you cook the remaining dough circles.
- Top with cheeses, vegetables, or other desired toppings and serve with your favorite dressing or dipping sauce!
