Flatbread Pizza with Prosciutto and Gouda Cheese
The inspiration for this stunning flatbread pizza came from a foodie we met at a Foodbuzz event at Beso Restaurant last September. We recently had the opportunity to meet with her again a few weeks ago for dinner at Street Restaurant in LA. Nancy is a Food Stylist To the Stars – which means if a show needs someone to design a set that includes food or eating, she’s the one they’ll call. She’s worked on a ton of TV shows & film, including the more recent Melrose Place and Prison Break. Her job is definitely interesting and she absolutely loves it. Anyway, before we headed to dinner at Street, Nancy asked us to come over to her house for cocktails. We were surprised she also went out of her way to make us a flatbread pizza with prosciutto and gouda cheese. It was simply amazing! I honestly wanted to eat the entire pizza, but I had to resist. The flavors she used paired so well together – prosciutto, cheese, caramelized onions, spring mix lettuce, and balsamic glaze. So of course, I had to call Nancy a week later to ask her for all the ingredients she used so that we can make our own at home! Without a formal recipe, we did our best with what we had and still managed to replicate a delicious flatbread pizza! Thanks, Nancy! ![]() We made our own pizza dough, but it is much easier to use store-bought pizza dough! It also takes more time to make your own because you have to let it rest for about an hour. ![]() Once the dough is ready, roll it out to about 1/4 inch thick. Dock dough with a fork and bake at 500 degrees for about 7 minutes. Docking (which is when you poke the dough with your fork) keeps the dough from puffing up. You want this to be a flatbread pizza. ![]() And now the fun part - putting on all the toppings! Add the grated gouda cheese, caramelized onions, and prosciutto. Pop this into the oven for another 5 minutes directly on the oven rack so the bottom gets crisp. ![]() Once the cheese has melted and the edges of the pizza brown up, take it out of the oven and sprinkle with fresh arugula (or spring lettuce mix) and balsamic glaze. The glaze is a lot more concentrated than balsamic vinaigrette, so make sure you use a glaze. Take a knife and cut it up into squares and enjoy! You will love the crunch of the pizza, the sweetness of the onions, the saltiness of the prosciutto, and creaminess of the cheese.
