Ingredients
Scale
Flatbread Base
- 2 pre-made flatbreads (6 to 8 inches in diameter)
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Seasonings
- Onion powder (to taste)
- Garlic powder (to taste)
- Dried oregano (to taste)
- Crushed red pepper flakes (to taste)
- Salt to taste
- Fresh ground black pepper to taste
Toppings
- 2 small tomatoes (thinly sliced)
- 4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese (sliced)
- 8 fresh basil leaves (plus more for garnish)
Optional Garnishes
- Balsamic vinegar (for drizzling)
- Extra olive oil (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking the flatbread pizza.
- Season flatbread: Brush or rub the extra-virgin olive oil evenly over each flatbread. Then sprinkle onion powder, garlic powder, dried oregano, and crushed red pepper flakes over the oiled surface to infuse the base with vibrant flavors.
- Layer toppings: Arrange the thinly sliced tomatoes evenly on top of the seasoned flatbreads, followed by slices of fresh mozzarella cheese and the fresh basil leaves. Season this layer with salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the taste.
- Bake: Place the topped flatbreads on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until the mozzarella cheese is bubbly and lightly browned in spots.
- Serve: Remove the pizzas from the oven and serve immediately. For an extra burst of flavor, drizzle with balsamic vinegar or additional olive oil and sprinkle torn basil leaves on top as a fresh garnish.
Notes
- Using pre-made flatbreads significantly reduces preparation time while still providing a crispy crust.
- Adjust the seasonings and spices according to your preferred flavor intensity.
- For a spicier pizza, increase the amount of crushed red pepper flakes or add a drizzle of hot sauce before baking.
- To ensure even baking, place flatbreads on a pizza stone or baking sheet.
- Leftover slices can be reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
