How to make Spicy Chili Garlic Flatbread with Feta & Olives

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of warm water (about 105-115°F), 1 teaspoon of active dry yeast, and 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar. Stir gently and let sit for 5-7 minutes, until the yeast is foamy.
2. Add 2.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the yeast mixture. Mix with a wooden spoon or dough hook until a shaggy dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic. If using a stand mixer, knead with the dough hook for 6-8 minutes.
4. Lightly oil a clean large bowl. Place the dough in the bowl, turning once to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for 60-90 minutes, or until doubled in size.
5. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet or line with parchment paper.
6. Gently punch down the risen dough and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet. Using your fingertips, gently stretch and press the dough into an oblong or rectangular shape, about 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick.
7. Drizzle 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over the flatbread dough. Evenly scatter the 4 thinly sliced garlic cloves and 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes over the surface.
8. Distribute the 4 ounces of crumbled feta cheese, 1/2 cup of halved Kalamata olives, and 1/4 cup of thinly sliced red onion over the flatbread.
9. Bake for 12-18 minutes, or until the flatbread crust is golden brown and the cheese is slightly melted and bubbly.
10. Remove the flatbread from the oven. Let it cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before garnishing with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley.
11. Slice into desired portions and serve warm. For an extra kick, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice can be added before serving.
