Toast the Flatbread:

FAQs

1. Can I use a different type of jam instead of blueberry preserves?

Yes, you can use other fruit jams like strawberry, raspberry, or apricot for a different flavor profile. The key is to use a fruit preserve that has a similar texture.

2. Can I make this recipe without fresh blueberries?

Yes, you can use frozen blueberries in place of fresh ones. Just be sure to thaw and drain them to prevent excess moisture on the flatbread.

3. Can I make the flatbread ahead of time?

You can prepare the flatbreads, top them with the cheese and blueberries, and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours before baking. When ready to bake, simply pop them in the oven.

4. Can I use regular honey instead of hot honey?

You can substitute regular honey, but the hot honey adds a nice spicy-sweet balance that makes the flatbread extra special. You could also make your own hot honey by adding chili flakes to regular honey.

5. How do I know when the flatbreads are done baking?

The flatbreads are done when the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the flatbread are golden brown and crispy.

6. Can I make this flatbread gluten-free?

Yes, you can use gluten-free flatbread or a gluten-free pizza crust in place of regular flatbreads.

7. Can I add other toppings to this flatbread?

Absolutely! You can add some arugula, spinach, or balsamic glaze after baking for added flavor and freshness.

8. Can I freeze this flatbread?

While it’s best fresh, you can freeze the assembled flatbreads (without the hot honey drizzle) before baking. When ready to bake, thaw in the fridge overnight and bake as usual.

9. How do I make the flatbread more crispy?

If you want a crispier flatbread, you can pre-bake the flatbreads for 2-3 minutes before adding the toppings.

10. Can I use store-bought flatbreads?

Yes, store-bought flatbreads or naan can be used for convenience. Just make sure to follow the recipe instructions for topping and baking.
