Serves: 1 flatbread
Ingredients
  • Whole wheat store bought pizza dough (I used Trader Joe's brand)
  • 2 large white onions
  • 2½ tbsp butter
  • 1 cup freshly shredded gouda cheese
  • 1 cup lightly sauteed bitter greens (beet greens, chard, kale, etc will all work!)
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
Instructions
  1. Take your pizza dough out from the refrigerator and let sit for 20-30 minutes at room temp
  2. Then, slice your onions into thin rings
  3. Over low to medium heat, cook your onions in the butter until carmelized. Sprinkle on a little salt and pepper. This should take 20-30 minutes - keep it low and slow
  4. While those are cooking, preheat your oven to 475 degrees F
  5. In a separate pan, lightly sautee your greens in a teensy bit of olive oil. You still want them to retain relative shape/crunch, but allow them to cook a little bit to bring out the flavor and reduce bitterness. After a couple of minutes of this, take the greens off the heat
  6. Once your dough has sat for 20 minutes, on a floured or greased baking sheet, take your dough and press/roll it into your desired shape. I went for a large rectangle. It should be about ⅛ of an inch thick. I just used my fingers!
  7. Coat the dough with the carmelized onions
  8. Spread out your greens evenly on top of the onions
  9. Sprinkle on the cheese and a little red pepper
  10. Place in oven for 10-15 minutes
  11. Remove, let cool, cut, and serve!
