WHAT YOU NEED-
- Flatbread– This recipe uses store-bought flatbread. Your favorite flatbread will work great, you can even use homemade flatbread if you prefer.
- Sauce– For the sauce you can use any pizza or pasta tomato sauce. Some Margherita pizzas call for no sauce, so you can totally leave out the sauce.
- Cheese– For the best results you want to use fresh mozzarella. You can also just use the store-bought shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Tomato– Fresh tomatoes are the key to this flatbread pizza. Roma tomatoes, Campari tomatoes, or any other large tomato you prefer. We don’t recommend using cherry or baby tomatoes.
- Basil– Topping the pizza with fresh basil is key! You can opt out of basil if you do not prefer it.
- Flavor– To season the pizza, we use salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. You can use any of your favorite seasonings.
- Garlic Butter– Brushing the flatbread with garlic butter makes it so crispy and elevates the flavors. Butter, garlic powder and Italian seasoning is used!
