HEAT oven to 475°F.

POUR warm water in slowly and gently whisk. Cover loosely with a clean kitchen towel.
SIT for 5 minutes. Mixture should become frothy.
PLACE dough in a greased bowl and with plastic wrap, foil or kitchen towel cover and rest for 45 minutes.
PREPARE toppings while dough is resting and rising.
SHAPE dough by punching down to release any/all air. Divide dough into two and, on a lightly floured surface, work the dough by shaping and stretching it until it is ¼-inch thick (make sure it is thin). Repeat with second dough.
TRANSFER both pieces of dough to a silicone-mat lined baking sheet, parchment paper or pizza stone.
POKE fingers all around the surface of the flatbreads or use a fork to prick holes.
DRIZZLE with ½ tsp of olive oil.
TOP with Italian cheese and ½ sliced links, thinly sliced tomatoes and some fresh basil.
BAKE for 15-20 minutes or when the crust and the toppings are browned to your preference.
SERVE warm and enjoy!
