Ingredients
Scale
Flatbread Base
- 3–4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 pound pizza dough
Toppings
- 2 small Macintosh apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 6 ounces brie cheese, rind removed and sliced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
- Honey, for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and position the rack in the middle to ensure even baking.
- Prepare the Dough: Lightly oil your baking pan or pizza stone with extra virgin olive oil to prevent sticking, then stretch out the pizza dough evenly to fit the pan.
- Add Toppings: Arrange the sliced brie cheese on top of the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges. Next, layer the thinly sliced Macintosh apples over the brie, and sprinkle chopped fresh sage evenly on top.
- Bake the Flatbread: Place the flatbread in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown on the bottom and edges, and the cheese has melted beautifully.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the flatbread from the oven, drizzle honey generously over the top, transfer it to a cutting board, and slice into 10 pieces for serving.
Notes
- For best results, use a pizza stone if available to achieve a crispier crust.
- Adjust the amount of honey drizzle to your taste preference—it adds a lovely sweetness that balances the savory brie.
- If you prefer a stronger herb flavor, feel free to add more fresh sage or substitute with thyme or rosemary.
- Make sure the brie rind is removed to avoid bitterness in the flatbread.
- You can substitute Macintosh apples with other sweet-tart apple varieties like Honeycrisp or Gala for similar flavor.
