Ingredients
  

Flatbread
  • 2 pieces flatbreads (naan, pita, lavash, tortillas, or homemade yeast flatbread) Choose based on desired crispiness and texture.
Toppings
  • 1 cup pizza sauce Options include marinara, pesto, BBQ sauce, or garlic olive oil.
  • 1-2 cups cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, feta, etc.) Mozzarella is classic; consider combining with other cheeses.
  • 1 cup toppings (meats, veggies, herbs) Suggestions: pepperoni, chicken, spinach, tomatoes, jalapenos, etc.
Dough for Homemade Flatbread (optional)
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 packet instant yeast (about 2 and a quarter teaspoons)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup warm water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Method
 

Baking Flatbread Pizzas
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  2. If you desire an extra crisp base, warm the baking sheet in the oven before placing flatbreads.
  3. Spread sauce in a thin, even layer over the flatbreads.
  4. Add cheese and then desired toppings.
  5. Bake for 8 to 12 minutes, until the edges are crisp and the cheese is bubbly.
  6. Allow to rest for 1 minute before slicing and serving, ensuring to enjoy while still warm.
  7. For an ultra-crisp bottom, place flatbreads directly on the oven rack for the last 2 minutes.
Making Homemade Flatbread (Optional)
  1. Mix flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a bowl.
  2. Add warm water and olive oil, and stir until shaggy dough forms.
  3. Knead for 3 to 5 minutes until smooth, then let it rest for 30 to 45 minutes.
  4. Divide the dough, roll/stretch into flatbread shapes, and pre-bake at 425°F for 4 minutes. Flip and bake for an additional minute.

Notes

Serve with crunchy sides like pickles. Adjust sauce and salt levels to prevent sogginess. Great for mixing and matching toppings.
