Ingredients
Scale:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
¾ cup warm water
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup fresh goat cheese, crumbled
8 fresh figs, sliced
¼ cup honey
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix well.
Gradually add warm water and olive oil to the dry mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the kneaded dough back in the bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
After resting, divide the dough into equal portions. Roll out each piece into a thin oval or round shape, about ¼ inch thick.
If using a pizza stone, carefully transfer the rolled flatbread onto a piece of parchment paper. If using a baking sheet, place it directly onto the sheet.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the flatbread from the oven. Spread the crumbled goat cheese evenly over the surface and top with sliced figs.
Drizzle honey generously over the top and sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves (if using). Return to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow it to cool for a couple of minutes before slicing and serving.
