Flatbread with Prawns and White Bean Hummus

This prawn and white bean hummus flatbread is a sophisticated take on a savoury snack, offering a wonderful balance of sweet seafood and earthy, Mediterranean flavours. This high-protein dish features a homemade dough base, topped with a velvety roasted garlic and white bean purée, slow-cooked caramelised onions, and tender leeks. The addition of zesty lemon slices and a generous dusting of Grana Padano adds a bright, salty finish that elevates the entire meal.

Ideal for a weekend lunch or as an impressive starter for a dinner party, these flatbreads are as nutritious as they are delicious. Using small, sweet prawns ensures every bite is packed with flavour, while the micro greens provide a fresh, peppery crunch. Many of the elements can be prepared in advance, making the final assembly and baking quick and effortless for busy hosts.

How to make Flatbread with Prawns and White Bean Hummus

In bowl of stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, stir together water, yeast, and sugar until dissolved, about 5 seconds. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. In large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Add to yeast mixture and mix on low speed until just combined, about 30 seconds. Add oil and mix on low speed until just combined, about 30 seconds. Switch to dough hook and mix on medium speed until dough is elastic and pulls away from sides, about 8 minutes. (Dough should feel firm and moist, but not sticky.)

Lightly oil large bowl. Gently shape dough into ball and transfer to bowl. Turn over several times to coat lightly with oil, then cover with plastic wrap and let rise in warm place (27°C to 29°C, see Chef's Notes) until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

While dough is rising, position rack near bottom of oven and top with pizza stone or heavy baking sheet. Preheat oven to 232°C for 1 hour.

Set smooth rollers of pasta machine on widest setting (see Chef's Notes). Divide dough into 6 equal parts. Cover 5 parts with plastic wrap. Shape remaining piece into rough rectangle and feed through rollers once to flatten into roughly 12-by 4-inch rectangle, approximately 1/8-inch thick. Transfer flatbread to large baking sheet, dust with flour, and top with sheet of parchment paper. Roll out remaining flatbreads in same manner, stacking between layers of parchment paper. Cover with plastic wrap until ready to bake.

Transfer 1 or more flatbreads to preheated pizza stone and bake in batches until slightly puffed but still pale, about 5 minutes. Transfer to wire rack to cool completely. Leave oven on. DO AHEAD: Flatbreads can be prepared ahead and frozen, wrapped tightly in parchment paper and plastic wrap, up to 6 months.

Transfer garlic cloves to 6-inch square of foil, drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil, sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoons salt, and wrap tightly. Bake until tender, about 45 minutes. Unwrap and let cool. DO AHEAD: Roasted garlic can be prepared ahead and refrigerated, in airtight container, up to 3 days.

Squeeze garlic cloves from skin into food processor. Add white beans, remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, tahini, rosemary, and remaining 1 teaspoon salt and purée until smooth, about 2 minutes. DO AHEAD: Hummus can be prepared ahead and refrigerated in airtight container up to 3 days.

In large, heavy saucepan over moderately low heat, melt butter. Add onions and sauté, stirring occasionally, until slightly transparent and starting to soften, about 2 minutes. Add sugar and 20ml water and sauté, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 12 minutes. Stir in salt and pepper, then transfer to medium bowl to cool. DO AHEAD: Onions can be prepared ahead and refrigerated, in airtight container, up to 3 days.

In large, heavy saucepan over moderate heat, heat olive oil. Add leeks and sauté, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, about 8 minutes. Stir in salt and pepper, then transfer to medium bowl to cool. DO AHEAD: Leeks can be prepared ahead and refrigerated, in airtight container, up to 3 days.

Position rack near bottom of oven and top with pizza stone or heavy baking sheet. Preheat oven to 232°C for 1 hour.

Brush each flatbread with olive oil and spread with hummus. Scatter onions and leeks over and top with lemon slices and prawns. Scatter with cheese, then sprinkle with salt and lemon juice.

Transfer 1 or more flatbreads to preheated pizza stone and bake in batches until toppings are warmed through and cheese has melted, 6 to 8 minutes.

Transfer flatbreads to large cutting board and top with micro greens. Using very sharp knife, cut into 6 thin slices and serve immediately.
