Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 2 pieces naan or flatbread
Sauce and Cheese
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Toppings
- 12 slices pepperoni or other favorite toppings
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives (optional)
- 1/4 cup sliced bell peppers (optional)
Seasoning and Garnish
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, torn
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Prepare Flatbread Base: Place the naan or flatbreads on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are evenly spaced for proper heat circulation.
- Spread Sauce: Evenly spread the pizza sauce over each flatbread, covering the surface but leaving a small edge for the crust.
- Add Cheese and Toppings: Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Arrange pepperoni slices and optional toppings like black olives and bell peppers on top of the cheese.
- Season: Sprinkle dried oregano and red pepper flakes over the toppings to add a burst of flavor and a slight kick.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden, and the edges of the flatbread are crisp.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the flatbreads from the oven, garnish with torn fresh basil leaves, slice into portions, and serve hot for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use whole wheat or gluten-free flatbread for a healthier or diet-specific alternative.
- Flatbreads can also be grilled instead of baked to achieve a smoky flavor.
- Experiment with various toppings like sausage, mushrooms, spinach, or caramelized onions to customize your flatbread pizza.
