About this recipe
Rainbow Flat Bread with the Thermomix TM7 turns simple plain flour, water, olive oil and yeast into a cheerful sharing loaf crowned with cherry tomatoes, Parmesan and smoked paprika. Searching for flat bread recipes or an all-in-one kitchen machine solution for weekend baking ends here: the TM7 kneads the dough in minutes, giving a soft, elastic base that bakes up crisp outside and tender inside. The colourful topping of halved cherry tomatoes, toasted sesame seeds and a whiff of lemon juice makes it as beautiful as it is tasty, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner, a leisurely brunch or a picnic table centrepiece. Because the machine handles the heavy kneading and even blending of the seasoned oil, you only shape, top and bake, leaving more time to enjoy the smoky, savoury aroma filling your kitchen.
Preparation tips
- Tip 1: Let the shaped dough prove in a warm, draught-free spot until visibly puffed before adding the cherry tomatoes, so the crumb stays airy and the base bakes through evenly.
- Tip 2: Pat the halved cherry tomatoes dry with kitchen paper before arranging them; this prevents excess moisture from soaking the centre of the flat bread during baking.
- Tip 3: For a milder family version, swap the smoked paprika oil for extra virgin olive oil with a little grated Parmesan, keeping the sesame seeds for crunch that children love.
Recipe variations
- Variation 1: Make it lactose-free by omitting the Parmesan and finishing the baked flat bread with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, extra toasted sesame seeds and a pinch of smoked paprika.
- Variation 2: A festive winter version tops the bread with caramelised onion, crumbled feta-style cheese and rosemary alongside the cherry tomatoes for a colourful holiday sharing platter.
