Instructions
Make the Dough
- In a large bowl, combine active dry yeast with warm water. Let it sit for 10 minutes until you see foaming on the surface.
- Add the whole wheat flour, olive oil and salt. Combine the ingredients together with a spoon until it comes together, then transfer to a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour.
- Coat the large bowl with a bit of oil, then place the dough back in and cover with a towel. Let the dough rise in a warm place for 45 minutes.
Make the Flatbread
- Preheat oven to 425F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, combine onion, paprika, oregano, thyme, garlic powder and salt.
- When the dough is ready, transfer to the prepared baking sheet and spread until you get a thin layer of dough. Rub with olive oil, then sprinkle with minced garlic and spice mix. Top with arugula and cheddar cheese.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the crust is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Enjoy!
Notes
You can use a combination of white flour and whole wheat flour for the dough if preferred.
