Ingredients:
1 package of Trader Joe’s Gluten Free Pizza Dough (must be proofed)
2 cups Trader Joe’s Shredded Swiss & Gruyere Cheese Blend
1 lb of sliced mushrooms (your choice: cremini, baby bella, or button mushrooms work great)
1/2 Tub of Trader Joe's Garlic Spread
Fresh thyme or parsley for garnish (optional, but fancy)
Instructions:
1. Proof the Dough
Trader Joe’s Gluten Free Pizza Dough needs a bit of proofing to reach its full potential. If you're using a proofing drawer, set it to the proofing setting, cover the dough with a damp towel, and let it sit for about 30-40 minutes.
If you don’t have a proofing drawer, no worries! You can use your oven:
Preheat your oven to 100-110 °F, or its lowest setting.
Once the oven is heated, turn it off.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp towel, and put it in the oven with the door slightly ajar. Let it proof for 30-40 minutes.
Proofing is key to achieving that chewy, soft texture, so don’t skip this step!
2. Sauté the Mushrooms
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a touch more olive oil. Toss in the sliced mushrooms and sauté until they’re golden brown and tender—about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of fresh thyme (if you're feeling fancy). Once done, remove from heat and set aside.
3. Assemble Your Flatbreads
Preheat your oven to 425 °F. Once your dough is proofed, stretch or roll it out into your desired flatbread shape (don’t worry, it doesn’t need to be perfect—rustic is in). Place the dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Spread a generous layer of that dreamy garlic spread over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Top with your sautéed mushrooms and a heavy-handed sprinkle of the Swiss & Gruyere cheese blend.
4. Bake It Up
Pop your flatbread in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling and beautifully browned.
5. Garnish & Serve
Remove the flatbread from the oven and let it cool for a minute before slicing. Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley for that extra touch of elegance, and voila—you’ve got yourself a Trader Joe’s Gluten Free Garlic Mushroom Flatbread that could rival any restaurant’s.
Enjoy the Cheesy, Garlicky Goodness
