I have a frozen flatbread that I bought from a local provider. How do I adapt the cooking time from this recipe?

Muriel, my block of feta was about 3"X4" if that's any help. Crumble it over the top. A little more, a little less...it'll work out fine. Great stuff.

What is a large cube of feta? A whole package piece or a chunk cut off of a package?

Oh my goodness, how good this is! I tried it mainly because I had some leftover kalamata olives. I'd also been wanting to try the no-knead dough for a while.
This is so different and so delicious. And I don't know why, but the dough comes out terrific. Might not ever knead pizza dough again.

I agree with Louise's comment, this was one of the best food52 recipes I have ever tried! I made it for a dinner party and no one could believe how good it was. I think the success of the dish owed a lot to the flour I got from Eataly that is especially for pizza. The crust was chewy and so flavorful, and paper thin and perfectly crispy throughout the flatbread. I followed a previous poster's suggestion and allowed the yeast to bloom in the water instead of adding everything to the flour. I allowed the dough to be very sticky and very wet (it spread mostly rather than rose), not adding more flour. I also used a fresh goat cheese instead of feta. Thank you for this perfect recipe!

Just wanted to add the flour I used was "Burrato Tipo 2" flour for pizza and bread (pizza e pane) from Marino mills. Available at Eataly. I'm certain it made the difference in the perfection of the flatbread texture and taste!

This was one of the best things I have made at home, hubby agrees! Substituted goats cheese for feta and omitted sultanas (using what was in pantry at time)

This was indeed delicious! Such great layering of flavors happening. A couple of things I think are noteworthy though - instead of adding water to all of the dry ingredients, I warmed the water and activated the yeast in that first. No idea what a "handful" of thyme would be, and how loosely packed, so I used a scant 1/4 cup thyme leaves. I also used nicoise olives since it was what I had. I also feel that adding a couple pinches of salt to the fennel mixture would be good, so I will next time.

I love this idea, but I couldn't get the dough to spread out on the pan. Also, would it be beneficial to sauté the vegetables a bit beforehand?

Sounds wonderful, but what quantity is "1 large cube feta"? I buy mine by the ounce.

This is ridiculously good! I made it last night for dinner, and was thrilled to have leftovers to devour this morning for breakfast.

A question about the second rise. Do you punch down the first rise, or knead the dough between rises?
