This was one of the original flatbreads at Super Vega and there were a few happy accidents along the way of its creation. The first is the marinated mozzarella which came about because the only fresh mozzarella we could find (at a reasonable price) was pretty terrible so I added some labneh and lemon and smashed it all together creating something much more along the lines of burrata and a saving grace in this recipe. Similarly, the spice mix on the tomatoes can save lackluster tomatoes if that's all you've got, but please, if you can look for the freshest of summer tomatoes (a variety of colors, shapes, and sizes looks especially nice here). Also, by only cooking the base on its own before topping, it gave our cooks the chance to practice their pizza oven skills. It's flatbreads 101!
2 balls man’oushe dough (see recipe in essentials)
handful fresh basil leaves
olive oil to drizzle
flaky sea salt
For the spiced tomatoes:
1 pound of mixed tomatoes, sliced to 1/4 inch thickness
2 cloves garlic, grated finely on a microplane
1 tablespoon sumac
1 teaspoon red chilli flakes
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon sea salt
For the marinated mozzarella:
2 balls of fresh mozzarella, torn into pieces
1/4 cup labneh
zest and juice of one lemon
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Preheat your oven to 500/250 degrees.
About an hour before you want to bake, sprinkle all of the spices and garlic on the sliced tomatoes and let them marinate.
Mix together all of the marinated mozzarella ingredients in a bowl. I find squishing it all together with my hands works best.
Roll out your flatbread dough on a lightly floured surface. Drizzle with olive oil and a sprinkle of salt. Cook on a sheet tray in your preheated oven for about 10 minutes, until it’s puffy and nicely browned. Remove from the oven and arrange the spiced tomatoes on the flatbread and dollop pieces of the marinated mozzarella on top. Arrange some fresh basil leaves on top and drizzle a smidge more olive oil and you’re ready to eat!
