1 Pineapple (cut into thin slices)
100g Madrange Ham (sliced 3mm thick)
25ml Roasted Garlic Oil
Small handful of Arugula
Pinch of Fleur De Sel

Flat Bread Recipe

1000g AP Flour
10g Kosher Salt
15g Dry Active Yeast
20g Sugar
50ml Olive Oil
650ml Luke Warm Water

Combine yeast, water and sugar and let stand for 10 minutes to activate yeast.  In a large mixing bowl place the flour and salt, make a well and then add the water mixture and the olive oil.  Mix well and kneed into a ball.  Dust with flour and place in a bowl and cover with a damp towel.  Leave in a warm place for one hour or until the dough has doubled in size.

Roasted Garlic and shallot oil

100ml Olive Oil
5 cloves of roasted garlic
1 shallot cut into rings

Roast garlic in oven at 350 Fahrenheit covered in tin foil for 45 mins.  Heat olive oil on grill and add garlic.  Let oil gently steep for 30 minutes on low heat.  Add shallots and take off the heat.

To make the flatbreads, roll out balls of dough to a desired size, place on well cleaned grill at medium heat.  Grill pineapple and ham on the other half of the bbq on high.  Turn the flatbread over and brush with garlic and shallot oil.  Add ham and pineapple once dough is cooked (about 2 mins a side). Take off the grill and add the arugula seasoned with salt and lemon juice.  Finish with more roasted garlic oil and a pinch of fleur de sel.
