Flatbread with Tomatoes, Peppers and Burrata

I definitely took the easy way out with this Flatbread with Tomatoes, Peppers and Burrata. And you know what? No shame.

What do I mean by “easy way out”? I used Trader Joe’s pizza dough instead of making it myself. You can totally make the dough from scratch if ya want! In fact, I’ve got a great pizza dough recipe – just cut it in half, and you’re good to go.

Okay, are you over the fact that I used store bought pizza dough yet? Moving on.

A crucial step to preventing soggy flatbread: salt your tomatoes and let them sit to pull moisture out. You will not regret the little bit of forethought!

I topped this flatbread with a little olive oil, the salted tomatoes, and my favorite ingredient in the world, Mama Lil’s Peppers. Then baked it until everything got shrively and those delicious tomato flavors got all deep and awesome and the bread got nice and brown.

Oh and then? I topped it all with burrata because burrata.

I had burrata for the FIRST TIME this summer in Italy (what took me so loooong?) and it’s as good as everyone said it would be. I crave it constantly. I might even like it more than brie.

Last but not least, plenty of fresh basil. And if you’re feeling feisty, a little flaked sea salt.
