Ingredients

Scale

Dough and Base

  • 34 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 pound pizza dough

Toppings

  • 2 small McIntosh apples (peeled, cored, thinly sliced)
  • 6 ounces Brie cheese (rind removed and sliced)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
  • Honey, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place the rack in the middle position to ensure even baking of the flatbread.
  2. Prepare the dough base: Lightly oil your pan or pizza stone with olive oil to prevent sticking, then stretch out the pizza dough evenly, covering the base but leaving enough olive oil underneath to keep it from sticking during baking.
  3. Add toppings: Arrange slices of Brie on the dough, keeping a 1/2-inch border around the edges free of cheese. Over the Brie, evenly layer the thinly sliced apples and sprinkle chopped fresh sage on top for aromatic flavor.
  4. Bake: Place the prepared flatbread in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the dough turns golden brown on the bottom and edges and the Brie cheese has melted into a creamy layer.
  5. Finish and serve: Remove the flatbread from the oven and immediately drizzle honey over the top to add a touch of sweetness. Transfer to a cutting board, slice into 10 pieces, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use fresh pizza dough for best texture, or store-bought dough can work well in a pinch.
  • Peeled and thinly sliced McIntosh apples provide a nice balance of sweet and tart; Granny Smith can be substituted for a tarter flavor.
  • Removing the rind from Brie ensures a smooth melting experience and avoids a strong flavor contrast.
  • The olive oil on the pan helps create a crisp crust on the flatbread.
  • Drizzle honey right after baking to keep the sweetness fresh and vibrant.
  • Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
