Caprese Flatbread with Balsamic Reduction

Sharing is caring!

Caprese Flatbread with Balsamic Reduction recipe.

I really wanted to wait and share this recipe with you when the Jersey Fresh tomatoes we grow here on our farm are in season.

Really, I did.

But, it was just too delicious not to share right away. Sorry, I just couldn’t wait.

I love to make flatbread. Not only can they be served as an appetizer or a main dish BUT you can add any combinations of ingredients you like to them. I have a thing for Caprese ANYTHING! So, why not add it to a flatbread. This Caprese Flatbread with Balsamic Reduction didn’t last long in my house.

I also love to make dishes with simple ingredients. This one is about as simple as it gets — pizza dough, olive oil, fresh tomatoes, fresh basil, fresh mozzarella and an easy balsamic vinegar glaze. Here is how I made it.

Caprese Flatbread - doughRoll out the pizza dough to about 13″ long by 6″ wide. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and brush with garlic-olive oil mixture. Bake in a 400 degree oven for about 12 minutes.

Caprese Flatbread - dough step 3Alternately line the fresh mozzarella and sliced tomatoes over the flatbread. Season with salt and pepper. Top with all the delicious fresh basil you just chopped. Pop back in the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and melted.

  8. Also chop your basil.
  9. When bread is finished baking, remove from oven and alternately layer tomatoes and mozzarella.
  10. Top with fresh chopped basil, salt and pepper.
  11. Place flatbread back in the oven and cook another 15-20 minutes until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted.
  12. Remove flatbread from oven and drizzle with balsamic reduction.
  13. Cut into triangles and serve hot or cold.

Want to take this Caprese Flatbread to the next level? Try grilling the dough (on a low temperature) before adding the tomato and mozzarella. You can finish it on the grill (again, on low so the flatbread does not burn) or in the oven.  It is so delicious and crispy. It is the perfect summer recipe for entertaining family and friends too.

And……if you have visited Walt Disney World in the past, this recipe is very similar to the Caprese Flatbread served at the Pinocchio Village Haus. It’s located right next to the It’s A Small World ride. You knew I would have to mention Disney somewhere in this post ; )
