This flatbread with pancetta, pear, and blue cheese is so delicious and will simply be served as both a important course or appetizer (suppose elevated cheeseboard in flatbread type). I like recipes whose elements meet on the intersection of savory and candy, the place the very best of each worlds are allowed to mingle harmoniously in each chew. Every element was scrumptious in its personal proper and the ratio of all of them was properly balanced and never overwhelming.
The flatbread was deliciously crisp on the underside and fluffy on the within, and it’s preparation was easy and forgiving sufficient in order to not add an excessive amount of stress to the method. This recipe was additionally a pleasant incentive to department out with several types of cheese, as I don’t typically prepare dinner with blue cheese or fontina. Lastly, the approach used to make the white wine onions is an efficient trick to maintain in your again pocket, as it might be an elevated topping on all method of different dishes. We ate our pizzas as a stand-alone dinner, and all felt fairly glad.
My solely critiques are that the addition of recent arugula on high after baking sounds good in principle, however in observe it was really reasonably messy and detracted from the opposite flavors. I believe arugula on the facet as a easy salad can be a extra sensible accompaniment, as I wouldn’t need to free the peppery steadiness it provides to the expertise solely. The arugula on high additionally obscures how pretty all of the toppings look on the pizza which I had given each effort and time to rearrange artfully. I additionally discovered my flatbread somewhat thicker than I might have preferred it, and that additionally felt like a slight distraction from the toppings. I selected to make 4 flatbreads and so I baked two per half sheet tray. There in all probability would have been room to roll them out thinner, and the thickness is private choice on the finish of the day, however maybe it might be useful so as to add a be aware that they do puff up a bit so rolling them proportionally thinner than desired is vital.
