Instructions
“`html
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. Whisk together until well mixed.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the olive oil and warm water.
- Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix the ingredients until a dough begins to form. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it is manageable.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
- While the dough is resting, prepare your toppings. Start by slicing the cherry tomatoes in half and quartering the artichoke hearts.
- Thinly slice the red onion and set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, sliced black olives, and chopped fresh basil. Mix gently to combine.
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) or prepare a grill for high heat if you prefer grilling the flatbread.
- After the dough has rested, transfer it back to a floured surface. Divide the dough into two equal portions for two flatbreads.
- Using a rolling pin, roll out one portion of the dough into a rectangle or circle, about 1/4 inch thick. If the dough sticks, sprinkle a little flour on the surface and the dough.
- Transfer the rolled-out flatbread to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a pizza stone if using a grill.
- Repeat the rolling process with the second portion of dough.
- Spread half of the marinara sauce evenly over the surface of the first flatbread, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by half of the feta cheese mixture, sliced cherry tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and red onion.
- Sprinkle with dried oregano and drizzle with a little olive oil for added flavor.
- Repeat the assembly process for the second flatbread.
- If using an oven, place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
- If grilling, place the flatbread directly on the grill grates. Close the lid and grill for about 5-7 minutes, checking frequently to avoid burning. The flatbread is done when the cheese is melted and the edges are crispy.
- Once cooked, remove the flatbreads from the oven or grill and let them cool for a minute.
