    Instructions

    1

    To make the nectarines, bring the sugar and wine to the boil in a saucepan. Add the nectarines and vanilla, reduce the heat and simmer until syrupy.

    For the flatbread, combine all the ingredients and work to form a dough. Leave to rest for 10 minutes. Preheat the oven to 180°C.

    On a lightly floured surface roll out the dough very thinly to form long strips. Lay these on an oven tray and bake for 10 minutes.

    Place the Camembert on a serving platter with the nectarines. Pour over the syrup and serve with the flatbread.
