Flat bread with tuna, mayonnaise and baby lettuce
The tuna, mayonnaise and baby lettuce flat breads are an alternative finger food to one of the most loved Italian focaccia. The taste of tuna is combined with the creamy mayonnaise and the fresh baby lettuce to create a starter that smells of summer!
It’s fast to prepare and success is guaranteed.
Ingredients for 10 flat breads
Ingredients
- 500 g of flour
- 500 ml milk
- 50 ml EVO oil
- 10 g of yeast
- Salt as needed
- Sesame seeds
- 180 g of tuna
- Baby lettuce
- Mayonnaise
Procedure
Combine the yeast and flour in a mixer bowl. Mix well and add the milk, oil and salt gradually. The dough will be very sticky, but this is what guarantees that your flat bread will be wonderfully soft!
Place 10 tablespoons of dough on a baking tray, leaving enough room between them, and cover the baking tray with cling film. Leave to rest for 3/4 hours and wait until the dough has risen.
Sprinkle them with sesame seeds and bake them in the oven at 200°C for about 15 minutes, until the surface is a golden colour.
In the meantime drain the tuna and mix it in a bowl with the mayonnaise until you obtain a soft creamy texture.
When the flat breads are ready, allow them to cool and then cut them in half. Spread the tuna cream on the bottom, add a few baby lettuce leaves and pop the top back on.
For a more inviting effect, add a toothpick with an olive to decorate.
Place them in the fridge and serve them cold: they will be even tastier!
