OLIVE and WALNUT FLATBREAD
Why choose olive and walnut flatbread
These savory flatbreads are a cross between bread and focaccia, and the beauty is that you can choose to cook them in a pan for a softer version, or in the oven for a crispy and golden one.
They are great for:
accompanying cheeses and cold cuts,
serving as a tasty appetizer,
replacing bread at the table,
enhancing a buffet or homemade aperitif.
Practical tips
👉 For the best result, roll the dough thin if you want them crispy, thicker if you prefer a soft texture.
👉 You can prepare them in advance and warm them a few minutes before serving: they remain delicious even the next day.
👉 Try them as a snack with fresh cheese: a surprising combination!
Ideas and tasty variations
If you don’t like walnuts, you can replace them with almonds or hazelnuts.
Black olives provide a stronger flavor, while green ones offer a milder note.
A sprinkle of rosemary or oregano will make your flatbreads even more fragrant.
For a lighter version, you can reduce the cheese or replace it with a bit of Greek yogurt in the dough.
