Ingredients:Crust
- 2 Cups of Flour
- 6 ounces of warm water
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp instant yeast
- 1 TBS olive oil
Date Spread
- 1/2 cup unsalted pistachios
- 1 cup pitted dates
- 1 tbs lemon juice
- 1 tbs elderberry syrup
- Pinch of salt
Toppings
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- 3 ounce prosciutto
- 1/2 cup chopped kale
- Drizzle elderberry syrup
Directions:
Start with the crust. Mix flour, salt, and olive oil in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl pour in the warm water and sprinkle the yeast on top and let it activate. It is ready when it starts to create a foam on top of the water. Mix the water and yeast with the flour mixture. Roll the dough out to the desired shape and thickness. Sprinkle flour or oil a baking sheet and transfer the dough. Let the dough rise for an hour covered with a kitchen towel.
In a food processor, add pistachios, date, lemon juice, elderberry syrup, and pinch of salt. Pulse into a thick spread.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees when the dough is ready. Bake for 5 minutes. Take out of the oven and add the toppings. Smear the date spread onto the flatbread, layer the mozzarella, prosciutto, and kale. Bake for 5 more minutes, until cheese is melted. Drizzle with elderberry syrup and serve.
