A little about categorizing bread. Our system is not scientific by a long shot. We've placed them into table, flat, dessert, and fried. Table bread may include loaves of sandwich-type bread or something designed to serve as a loaf or dinner bun at the table. Flat is generally un-yeasted bread that is flat (duh!). Fried can be pan-fried or deep-fried. Dessert is for delectables such as banana bread. The words dressing and stuffing are interchangeable, depending where you live. Many will contain bread, others may not. This is dizzying.
4 tablespoons olive oil
12 ounces store-bought pizza dough (or to make your own)
1 bunch asparagus, ends trimmed
1 lemon, juiced and zested
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
⅓ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Preheat the oven to 400°. Grease a baking sheet with 2 tablespoons olive oil. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a ½-inch-thick rectangle. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet. In a large bowl, toss the asparagus with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice and zest, salt and pepper. Arrange the asparagus on the dough and top with Parmesan. Bake the flatbread until the crust is golden and crisp and the asparagus is tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool briefly before serving, or cool completely and serve at room temperature.
