ingredients

Caramelized Onions:

  • 1 cut in half and sliced red onion
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

ingredients

Flatbread:

  • 1 1/3 cup (plus 1/4 cup extra if needed) gluten-free 1:1 flour
  • 2/3 cup oat milk yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons (plus 1 extra teaspoon if needed) olive oil

ingredients

Toppings:

  • 1/4 cup unsweetened oat milk
  • 1/4 cup fig jam
  • 3/4 cup shredded dairy-free gouda
  • 3/4 cup shredded dairy-free mozzarella
  • 3/4 cup EPIC Uncured Bacon Bits
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley

Method

  • Step 1

    Caramelize the Onions: In a pan over low heat, combine sliced red onion, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and salt. Sauté for 45-50 minutes, stirring occasionally until caramelized. Set aside.

  • Step 2

    Make the Dough: In a bowl, mix gluten-free flour, oat milk yogurt, baking powder, salt, and olive oil until a dough forms. Adjust with additional flour or olive oil as needed—the dough should be soft but not sticky or crumbly.

  • Step 3

    Lightly flour a cutting board with gluten-free flour. Knead the dough with your fingers and roll it out to about 1/4 inch thick.

  • Step 4

    Preheat the oven to 425°F. Heat 1/2 teaspoon olive oil in a large fry pan over medium heat. Carefully add the dough and bake for 2-4 minutes per side until lightly golden. Remove from heat.

  • Step 5

    Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together fig jam and oat milk until smooth.

  • Step 6

    Assemble the Flatbread: Spread the fig sauce over the cooked flatbread. Layer with shredded gouda, caramelized onions, EPIC Uncured Bacon Bits, and shredded mozzarella.

  • Step 7

    Place the flatbread on a pizza stone or greased sheet pan. Bake for 5 minutes, then switch to low broil for 3-5 minutes until the cheese melts and is slightly browned.

  • Step 8

    Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and top with fresh chopped parsley. Slice into 8 pieces and serve warm.
