Steps to make pumpkin flatbread
To prepare the pumpkin flatbread, first take the pumpkin and grate it with a coarse grater. In this case, I found the pumpkin already cut and cleaned in pieces, but if you have a whole pumpkin, remove the skin and internal seeds. Then take a large bowl and pour in the water and flour and mix well with a hand whisk. Then add 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese, two pinches of salt and a pinch of black pepper, 2 fairly large sprigs of rosemary finely chopped, and finally add the previously grated pumpkin.
Now take a baking pan and cover it with parchment paper or grease it well and pour the mixture into it. Level with a spatula, add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil on the surface. Preheat the static oven to 392°F and bake the flatbread in a static oven for 40 minutes.
Your pumpkin flatbread is ready to be served! Serve it as a starter, as an appetizer, but it is also perfect as a quick dinner solution!
Storage and tips
You can store the flatbread in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 1 day.
