DIRECTIONS

Flatbread:

  1. Preheat oven to 230°C. Line 45 x 33 cm baking pan with parchment paper or silicone mat. Lightly grease parchment.
  2. Stretch, flatten, or roll dough to a large thin rectangle, about the size of baking pan. Poke your fingers all over the top of the dough to make little indents.
  3. Drizzle olive oil over stretched dough. Lightly season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle about 1-2 tablespoons of grated Romano cheese over dough. Bake for 12-15 minutes until flatbread is golden in colour and cheese has melted. Remove from oven and add toppings.

Assembly:

  1. While flatbread is baking, mix together ricotta cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Keep chilled until ready to assemble.
  2. Drizzle extra-virgin olive oil over baked flatbread. Distribute dollops of seasoned ricotta over flatbread. Add Serrano ham and chopped California Prunes. Grate Romano cheese on top. Finish with rocket. Season with salt/pepper or additional cheese as needed. If desired, drizzle additional olive oil before serving.
