Flatbread with Roasted Apple, Butternut Squash, and Caramelized Onion

So, I was Ms. Betty Crocker last night, but a little (a lot) less successful. I set out to make a Flatbread with Roasted Apple, Butternut Squash, and Caramelized Onion per a receipie I found on Chef Chloe's Blog. Making a flat bread from scratch shouldn't be too hard right?! WRONG! Two attempts and an hour later, my flat bread still didn't rise. :( So, I decided I would try to roll it out anyway (last ditch effort)... and NO.. it split in TWO. Crap.

So, off to Kroger, mid recipie, to give in and buy a pre-made pizza dough. No big deal, I'll just be 'Semi-homemade w/ Sandra Lee'. She's cool too!

Next came the food processor and this awesome white bean spread that was just TOO good! I ended up munching on it with celery sticks while I was waiting for my crap bread to rise. Then came the piling on: white bean spread first, then sliced apples, then caramelized onions and the finishing touch: butternut squash from Becnel's produce stand! Into the oven it went:

25 mins later.. and VOILA! My very own vegan homemade.. okay... SEMI-homemade pizza! Who would miss cheese when you can have all of that good stuff piled on? I certainly didn't! Let me tell you, the combination of white bean sauce, baked apple and caramelized onions was a dream to taste. Everyone will like this pizza, I assure you of that! :)

The finished product! :)

Anyone have suggestions on how to make a flatbread from scratch? I need help on this one!
