Cacio e Pepe Flatbread

Hi Besties!! I haven't been able to stop thinking about this Cacio e Pepe flatbread I had recently and I knew I had to recreate it and im so glad I did beaus it is sensational and will absolutely be on the table all spring and summer along side a bowl of olives and and a good drink. The recipe for the flatbread is linked below, only thing to note is that it was baked at 550 for 4 minutes, then topped it with spices, sesame seeds and a brush of olive oil and baked for another 3 minutes so time that accordingly if your oven is hotter or cooler. I grate as much cheese as my heart desires and crack lots of freely ground black pepper and it is DIVINE!!!! You must make this asap!
