For these sandwiches, you can use any small sweet tomatoes, such as cherry, grape, or pear. In a pinch, you can substitute store-bought flatbread for the sandwich crust. If you do, heat the bread and melt the cheese before filling the sandwiches so they will stay together. Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups bread flour, divided |
1 package dry yeast (about 2 1/4 teaspoons) |
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons warm water (100° to 110°), divided |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
cooking spray |
3/4 cup (3 ounces) shredded smoked mozzarella cheese, divided |
1 1/2 cups yellow cherry tomatoes, halved |
1 1/2 cups red cherry tomatoes, halved |
1/2 cup thinly sliced fresh basil |
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar |
1 tablespoon extravirgin olive oil |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1 garlic clove, minced |
Directions:
1. To prepare crust, lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm water in a large bowl; stir in 1/2 cup flour. Let stand 30 minutes. Add 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons warm water, 1 1/2 cups flour, and salt, stirring to form a soft dough. Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 8 minutes); add enough of remaining flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands.
2. Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85°), free from drafts, for 45 minutes or until doubled in size. (Gently press two fingers into dough. If indentation remains, dough has risen enough.) Punch dough down; cover and let rest 5 minutes.
3. Divide dough into 4 equal portions. Working with one portion at a time (cover remaining dough to prevent drying), roll each portion into a 7-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Place dough circle in pan. Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons cheese. Cook 3 minutes or until cheese melts and dough is browned on bottom. Repeat procedure with remaining dough and cheese.
4. To prepare filling, combine tomatoes and remaining ingredients; toss gently to coat. Spoon 3/4 cup tomato mixture into each crust, and fold over.
