Asparagus and Potato Flatbread

Do you love pizza, but sometimes wish for something just a little different? Well, I've got the perfect recipe for you. It's a super-springy, super-simple flatbread that's made with store-bought pizza dough for the ultimate convenience. Skip the tomato sauce and top it with asparagus, sliced potatoes, and goat cheese for a fresh meal with seasonal flair. And I'll show you a special way to prep the asparagus so it cooks extra quickly and looks beautiful enough for company.

If you want to make your own pizza dough, look for one of these simple recipes on our site: Basic Pizza Dough or Whole-Wheat Pizza Dough. Both are a cinch to make and freeze beautifully for up to three months.

Get Cooking

  1. Preheat oven to 500 degrees, with racks in middle and lower thirds. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into two 6-by-16-inch ovals and transfer to two parchment-lined rimmed baking sheets. Brush each with 1 tablespoon oil. In a medium bowl, toss potato with 2 teaspoons oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange potatoes on dough, leaving a 1/4-inch border. Bake until edges of crusts are golden and potatoes are beginning to crisp around edges, about 12 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through.
  2. Meanwhile, toss asparagus with 2 teaspoons oil and season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to 450 degrees, remove sheets from oven, and top flatbread with asparagus. Return sheets to oven and bake until asparagus is crisp-tender, 5 minutes. Top with cheese and bake until cheese is warmed through, 3 minutes. Drizzle each flatbread with 1 teaspoon oil, then cut into wedges to serve.
