Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use a different type of cheese instead of goat cheese?
A: Yes, you can substitute goat cheese with other soft cheeses like feta or ricotta. For a milder flavor, you could also try cream cheese or a soft brie.
Q: What if I don't have fresh sage?
A: If you don't have fresh sage, you can use dried sage, but use less since dried herbs have a more concentrated flavor. About 1 teaspoon of dried sage should suffice. Alternatively, fresh thyme or rosemary can be used for a slightly different flavor.
Q: How can I make this flatbread ahead of time?
A: You can prepare the flatbread components in advance. Slice the pears, toast the hazelnuts, and mix the spiced honey up to a day ahead. Store the pears in an airtight container with a little lemon juice to prevent browning and keep the toasted hazelnuts in a sealed container. Assemble and bake the flatbread just before serving for the best texture and flavor.
Q: What is the best way to store leftovers?
A: Leftover flatbread can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes to maintain the crispness, or use a toaster oven for smaller portions.
Q: Can I use a gluten-free option for the flatbread?
A: Absolutely! You can use a store-bought gluten-free flatbread or pizza dough. Ensure it’s rolled out and baked according to the recipe instructions for the best results.
Q: How can I adjust the recipe to make it sweeter or less sweet?
A: To make the flatbread sweeter, use more honey or choose a sweeter variety of pears like Bartlett or Anjou. If you prefer it less sweet, reduce the amount of honey in the drizzle or opt for less ripe pears, which are less sugary.
Q: What are some serving suggestions for this flatbread?
A: This flatbread pairs wonderfully with a fresh, crisp green salad with a light vinaigrette. It also works well as an appetizer for a dinner party or as part of a charcuterie-style spread with cured meats and cheeses.
