Name: Flatbread with Sausage, Bell Peppers, and Asiago
Yield: Makes 2 or 3 flatbreads, depending on thickness
Ingredients: All-purpose flour, for dusting a work surface; Pizza and flatbread dough; Cornmeal; 2 to 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil; 1 pound Asiago or Parmigiano-Reggiano, shaved; 1/2 pound Italian sausage, casings removed, meat crumbled into nut-size nuggets; 1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and cut into thin strips

There's no tomato or mozzarella on this flatbread. Instead, we have sausage, sweet bell peppers, and Asiago cheese, just one example of how you can devise a simple but original pizza by drawing on just a handful of ingredients.

Cook's Suggestions:

· Replace the bell pepper with a hot chile.
· Use Robiola or Taleggio instead of Asiago.
· Replace the sausage with browned ground beef, sliced meatballs, or diced leftover chicken or turkey.
