Recipe Introduction

When baking both breads at once, switch placement of baking sheets in the oven halfway through the baking. Or, bake one flatbread at a time, keeping the unbaked bread covered in the refrigerator while the other bread is baking.

List of Ingredients

1 16-oz. pkg. hot-roll mix
1 egg
2 Tbsp. olive oil or cooking oil
1/4 cup snipped fresh basil or 2 tsp. dried basil, crushed
2/3 cup finely chopped onion
3 Tbsp. olive oil or cooking oil
3/4 cup pitted kalamata olives, drained and chopped
1/2 cup crumbled fete cheese (2 oz.)




Recipe

Lightly grease two large baking sheets; set aside.

Prepare hot-roll mix according to package directions for basic dough, using the 1 egg and substituting the 2 tablespoons olive oil or cooking oil for margarine. Stir in 1 tablespoon of the fresh basil or 1/2 teaspoon of the dried basil. Knead dough and allow to rest as directed. Divide dough in half and roll each portion into a 12-or 13-inch round. Place on prepared baking sheet.

In a skillet cook onion and remaining basil in 3 tablespoons oil till onion is tender but not brown. With fingertips, press indentations every inch or so in dough round. Top dough evenly with onion mixture. Sprinkle with chopped olives and cheese. Cover; let rise in a warm place till nearly double (30 to 40 minutes).

Bake in a 375 [degrees] oven for 15 to 20 minutes or till golden. Remove from oven. Transfer to a wire rack. Cool.
