Flatbread pizzas using flour tortilla crust
I really liked the oven-fired thin crust pizza I got on the street at Halsted Market Days and have been craving some ever since.
Used the same dough as I did for the flour tortillas. Divided into just four balls (instead of 8) and rolled oblong pieces which are thick for tortillas but thin for pizza crusts. After baking the crusts on the lowest rack at 500F for ~5minutes, we topped them with pesto, thin-sliced portabella mushrooms, sautéed japanese eggplant, cheese, and fresh herbs from the garden. Top-broiled for just a few minutes. Yummuy!
So no yeast or rising with this crust, just the baking powder and moisture to make it puff up a little. Lighter tasting and possibly not as heavy in the stomach. I think if I rolled slightly thicker pieces and top-broiled for a couple minutes each side I'd have a decent approximation for naan.
