Ingredients

Flatbreads

  • 1 package yeast
  • ¾ cup warm water
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil + 1 Tbsp for the bowl
  • 1 cup buckwheat flour
  • cups bread flour
  • 16 oz ricotta
  • 1 pint California strawberries
  • 1 avocado
  • 8 fresh basil leaves
  • A few sprigs of fresh chives
  • 12 fresh mint leaves
  • Extra-virgin olive oil to taste
  • Sea salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Put the first 5 ingredients in your mixer bowl and stir to combine. Let rest for 5 minutes or until the mixture is foamy. Add the flours. Mix for about 5 minutes or until the dough is smooth and no longer sticky and releases from the bowl.
  • Add the olive oil to a medium bowl, transfer the dough to the bowl, and cover with plastic wrap. Put in the fridge for 6 to 8 hours, or let rest overnight.
  • When you’re ready to make the flatbreads, pull the dough out of the fridge, and let it come to room temperature. Divide the dough into 8 pieces.
  • Half-cook the flatbreads. Roll out each piece of dough on a lightly floured board, and put into a medium-size skillet over medium-high heat. When the first side bubbles, flip it over and cook for a few more seconds, until very lightly browned — remember, you’re only cooking these halfway. Remove and stack on a plate. Repeat with the remaining flatbreads.
  • Save time: Make the flatbreads in advance, and keep them in a plastic bag in the fridge or freezer.
  • Preheat the oven to broil. Put the 4 flatbreads on a baking sheet. Spread 2 tablespoonsful of ricotta on each one. Bake for 10 minutes or until crisp on the edges.
  • Hull and thinly slice the strawberries, and add them to the flatbreads.
  • Dice the avocado, and add one-fourth to each of the 4 flatbreads.
  • Chop the herbs and scatter them on top. Drizzle with a little bit of olive oil, and sprinkle with sea salt and pepper. Serve warm or at room temperature.
