Total Time: 40 mins Preparation Time: 40 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 12
• 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 cup warm water, divided (100 to 110 )
• 1 (1/4 ounce) package dry yeast
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• cooking spray
• 1 teaspoon cornmeal
• 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
• 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 3/4 cup halved cherry tomatoes
• 3/4 cup halved yellow cherry tomato

Recipe

• 1 to prepare flatbreads, lightly spoon whole wheat flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. combine whole wheat flour, 1/4 cup water, and yeast in a bowl; let stand 10 minutes.
• 2 lightly spoon all-purpose flour into dry measuring cups, and level with a knife. combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and remaining 3/4 cup water in a large bowl. add yeast mixture, and stir until a dough forms. turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. knead until smooth and elastic (about 10 minutes); add enough of remaining 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands (dough will feel sticky). place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. cover and let rise in a warm place (85°), free from drafts, 1 hour or until doubled in size. (gently press two fingers into dough. if indentation remains, dough has risen enough.).
• 3 preheat oven to 450°.
• 4 punch dough down; cover and let rest 5 minutes. divide dough in half. roll each half into a 9-inch circle on a lightly floured surface; place on baking sheets sprinkled with cornmeal. lightly coat dough with cooking spray. sprinkle dough evenly with sliced garlic; press garlic into dough using fingertips. bake at 450° for 10 minutes or until crisp and garlic begins to brown. remove flatbreads from oven; cool on wire racks.
• 5 to prepare topping, combine vinegar, oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, pepper, and minced garlic in a medium bowl. add tomatoes; toss gently.
• 6 preheat broiler.
• 7 sprinkle each flatbread with 1/2 cup cheese; broil flatbreads 1 minute or until cheese melts. remove from oven; top each flatbread with half of tomato mixture. sprinkle each flatbread with 1/4 cup basil. cut each flatbread into 6 equal wedges.
