Ingredients

Flatbread Base

  • 1 piece flatbread

Toppings

  • 1/4 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 cup fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the flatbread pizza.
  2. Spread Tomato Sauce: Evenly spread 1/4 cup of tomato sauce over the surface of the flatbread, covering it completely to create a flavorful base.
  3. Add Mozzarella Cheese: Layer the sliced fresh mozzarella cheese evenly over the tomato sauce to ensure every bite has creamy, melted cheese.
  4. Season and Drizzle Olive Oil: Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the cheese, then season with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences to enhance the overall flavor.
  5. Bake the Pizza: Place the prepared flatbread on a baking sheet or pizza stone and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and bubbles with slight golden spots.
  6. Add Fresh Basil: Remove the flatbread pizza from the oven and immediately top with fresh basil leaves to add a fragrant, fresh finish before serving.

Notes

  • Use a pizza stone or a baking sheet for even cooking and a crispier crust.
  • For a spicier twist, sprinkle some crushed red pepper flakes before baking.
  • Substitute fresh mozzarella with low-moisture mozzarella for less watery results.
  • To keep the flatbread crisp, avoid adding too much tomato sauce.
  • Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
