1 tablespoon of water

Non-stick spray for cooking
# Instructions:
01 -
Pour hot tap water into a metal mixing bowl and leave it for a few minutes to warm up. During this time, set the oven to preheat at 500°F.
02 -
Get rid of the hot water in the bowl and dry it. Pour warm water and sprinkle yeast on top, giving it a gentle stir for a few seconds. Leave it alone for about three minutes until it bubbles up.
03 -
In a separate container, sift together 2 cups of flour, some salt, and sugar. Add olive oil into the yeast liquid, then stir. Slowly combine the flour mixture until everything's blended.
04 -
Dump the dough on a floured counter. Knead it for 4 to 5 minutes until it feels smooth and forms a ball. Put it back into the bowl and cover with a clean towel.
05 -
Put the covered bowl on top of your preheating oven (not directly on the burner) for a quick rise of 5 minutes.
06 -
Coat two baking trays with a non-stick cooking spray. Divide the dough into two parts.
07 -
Take each portion of dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangular shape. Place them on trays and stretch into the corners.
08 -
Whisk the egg with water until mixed well. Brush this around the edges of the dough.
09 -
Layer the flatbreads with mozzarella slices, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, black olives, and crumbled feta. Sprinkle over dried basil and oregano.
10 -
Put in the oven and bake for 10 minutes until the edges turn a nice golden color. If you like, finish off with parsley, slice up, and enjoy fresh!
# Notes:
01 -
The dough only needs five minutes to rise in a warm spot.

Tastes amazing when served straight out of the oven.
