- 2 pre-made flatbread crusts
- 1 cup marinara sauce or tomato sauce of your choice
- 1 cup fresh mozzarella cheese sliced or shredded
- 1 tomato thinly sliced
- fresh basil leaves torn
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- salt
- pepper
- red pepper flakes, balsamic glaze Optional
Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 450°F (230°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it preheats.
Prepare the Flatbread: Lay the flatbread crusts on a baking sheet or pizza stone. Brush a thin layer of olive oil over each crust to help achieve a crispy texture.
Add the Sauce: Spread a generous amount of marinara sauce over each flatbread, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
Top with Cheese and Tomatoes: Evenly distribute the fresh mozzarella slices or shreds over the sauce. Then, layer the tomato slices on top of the cheese.
Season and Add Basil: Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings like red pepper flakes if desired. Add fresh basil leaves on top.
Bake: Place the flatbread pizzas in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Optionally, drizzle with balsamic glaze for added flavor. Cut into slices and serve warm.
