Rustic Flatbread with Egg, Arugula and Pecorino
Flatbread for dinner is an easy proposition if you mix up the dough in the morning and let it rise in the refrigerator all day. Serve these crisp flatbreads topped with soft-set eggs straight from the oven, accompanied with a simple green salad—or, if serving for brunch, a side of fresh fruit.
