Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine bread flour, garlic powder, salt, and active dry yeast. Add squid ink and warm water; drizzle with olive oil.
Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with cloth, and let it rise for about an hour or until doubled in size.
Sauté shallots and garlic in butter until softened; add mushrooms and cook until browned.
Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Divide dough into four portions and roll into flat circles.
Spread pesto over each flatbread, top with sautéed mixture and gouda cheese, then bake for about 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
