What's the difference between pizza and flatbread?

For us, the terms flatbread and pizza are interchangeable. That's why you see flatbread pizzas on so many menus today. Technically, flatbreads have a thinner crust, which is sometimes achieved by using an unleavened dough (without yeast). But we like use our favorite pizza dough recipe for flatbread. We roll it very thin and bake it on a pizza stone.

Like our Brussels Sprouts Flatbread and Balsamic Fig Flatbread, Asparagus Flatbread is an easy dinner for busy families. Unlike traditional pizza, this recipe relies on the sharpness of asiago cheese instead of mozzarella, which adds a subtle bite to tender asparagus.

Ingredients

asparagus flatbread ingredients
  • PIZZA DOUGH: use our pizza dough recipe, store-bought pizza dough, or buy a pre-made flatbread or pizza crust
  • ASPARAGUS: fresh asparagus stalks (we like thin stalks because they roast faster)
  • MUSHROOMS: any fresh mushrooms work, but we like Baby Bellas or cremini mushrooms
  • FLOUR: AP flour (All Purpose flour) for rolling out the pizza dough
  • RED ONION: sliced into slivers
  • PESTO SAUCE: store bought pesto works fine for this recipe
  • GARLIC CLOVES: chopped garlic cloves in small pieces
  • OLIVE OIL: use the best quality extra virgin olive oil you can afford
  • ASIAGO CHEESE: buy a chunk of asiago cheese and shred it yourself

Top tip

We prefer pencil thin asparagus for this recipe. It roasts faster, and it has a sweeter taste that compliments the savory flavors of the pesto base.

FAQ

What are the best types of asparagus to use for flatbread?

Thin asparagus spears are ideal for flatbread because they cook quickly and evenly. Choose firm, vibrant, green asparagus with tightly closed tips for the freshest flavor.

Should I pre-cook the asparagus before adding it to the flatbread?

It's not necessary to cook the asparagus before adding it to the flatbread. Asparagus cooks quickly in the oven, so adding it raw preserves its crisp texture and fresh flavor.

Can I make the flatbread dough from scratch, or should I use store-bought?

You can use homemade or store-bought flatbread dough for Asparagus Flatbread. If using store-bought pizza dough, let it come to room temperature before rolling it out to ensure it's pliable and easy to work with.

How do you get the best thin crust?

For the best thin and crispy crust, use a baking stone or a perforated pizza pan.

    Asparagus & mushroom flatbread - When you first posted this I thought you wrote it for me. I am an old school style cook in that I make everything from scratch. But I wasn't home and "paying" my host with dinner. It was a "bachelor's kitchen" with no pantry or equipment. Your recipe gave me permission to use store bought dough! I've made it twice since not just because it is a crowd pleaser but it's indulgently flavorful and quick & easy to make. It helps that the fresh, healthy ingredients were in-season pretty much everywhere.
