🍐Step-by-Step: Flatbread in 4 Moves
1. Prep the Base
Roll out dough into a thin oval or rectangle on a floured surface. Brush lightly with olive oil. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
2. Crumble Cheese
Lock your Geedel Rotary Grater with suction base.
Coarse blade: Crumble blue cheese into fluffy, melt-ready chunks.
Fine blade (optional): Shred mozzarella for even coverage.
3. Layer the Magic
Scatter mozzarella evenly over dough. Arrange hand-sliced pears in a single layer. Dot with crumbled blue cheese. Sprinkle toasted walnuts and a few thyme leaves.
4. Bake & Finish
Bake at 425°F until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly. Drizzle with honey, crack black pepper, and scatter arugula. Slice and serve warm—crunch meets ooze.
