Step-by-Step Ramp & Mushroom Flatbread Recipe

Prepare the Dough: Use store-bought or homemade flatbread dough. Roll it out on a floured surface to about ¼-inch thickness for a crisp base.
Preheat Oven to 450°F (230°C): Ensure your oven is hot enough to achieve a golden, blistered crust.
Sauté Mushrooms: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and cook about 5 minutes until tender and lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper.
Add Ramps: Toss cleaned, chopped ramps into the mushroom mixture for the last 2 minutes to soften without losing their bright flavor.
Assemble Flatbread: Place dough on a baking stone or sheet. Spread a thin layer of olive oil or light garlic butter, then evenly distribute the mushroom and ramp mixture.
Bake: Transfer to the oven and bake 12–15 minutes until the flatbread edges puff up and become crisp. Toppings should be bubbly.
Finish with Cheese and Herbs: Sprinkle crumbled goat cheese or shredded mozzarella and a pinch of fresh thyme after baking. Let cool 2 minutes before slicing.
Serve: Cut into wedges and serve warm, garnished with extra fresh ramps or microgreens if desired.
