Ingredients
Flatbread Pizza Ingredients
- 2 (7 to 9-inch) premade flatbreads or naans
- ½ cup pizza sauce (120 mL)
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella, torn into pieces (225 g)
- ½ cup halved cherry tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- Torn fresh basil for serving
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it's hot enough to crisp the flatbread and melt the cheese.
- Prepare Flatbreads: Place the premade flatbreads on a large baking sheet, spacing them out for even cooking.
- Spread Sauce: Divide the pizza sauce evenly between the flatbreads and spread it into an even layer, leaving about a ¼-inch border around the edges.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the torn mozzarella evenly over the sauce, then top with halved cherry tomatoes and minced garlic. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the flatbread edges are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the pizzas from the oven and let them cool for at least 5 minutes. Finish by scattering torn fresh basil leaves over the top before serving.
Notes
- Using store-bought flatbreads or naan significantly cuts down preparation time, making this a perfect weeknight dinner option.
- You can substitute naan with any flatbread of your choice, including pita bread.
- For added flavor, try drizzling a little olive oil or sprinkling red pepper flakes before baking.
- To make the pizza vegetarian, ensure the pizza sauce and toppings have no animal products.
