Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 2 store-bought or homemade flatbreads or naan
Sauce & Cheese
- ½ cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Seasonings
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Toppings
- ½ cup sliced pepperoni or cooked sausage (optional)
- ¼ cup sliced black olives
- ¼ cup sliced bell peppers
- ¼ cup sliced red onion
Garnish
- Fresh basil or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and even baking.
- Prepare Flatbreads. Place the flatbreads on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they lie flat for even topping application.
- Spread Sauce. Evenly spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over each flatbread, providing a flavorful base that will meld with the toppings.
- Add Cheese and Seasonings. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, Italian seasoning, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using) evenly over the sauce for a rich and aromatic flavor profile.
- Top Flatbreads. Add your choice of sliced pepperoni or cooked sausage, black olives, bell peppers, and red onion to each flatbread, customizing to your taste.
- Bake. Bake the flatbreads in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes until the cheese has melted, is bubbly, and the edges of the flatbread are golden and crisp.
- Cool and Garnish. Remove the flatbreads from the oven, let them cool slightly to set, then garnish with fresh basil or parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
- Serve. Slice each flatbread into portions and serve warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Customize your flatbread with preferred pizza toppings such as mushrooms, spinach, or sun-dried tomatoes for added flavor and variety.
- For a crispier crust, bake the flatbreads directly on the oven rack for the last 2 minutes of cooking.
