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 entire surface of the flatbread, creating a flavorful base layer.
  3. Layer mozzarella: Arrange sliced fresh mozzarella cheese (about 1 cup) over the tomato sauce, ensuring the cheese covers most of the sauce evenly.
  4. Season and drizzle olive oil: Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the cheese layer and season with salt and pepper to taste, enhancing the flavor balance.
  5. Bake the pizza: Place the prepared flatbread on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
  6. Add fresh basil: Remove the flatbread from the oven and immediately top with fresh basil leaves (1/4 cup) to add a fragrant and fresh herbal note before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh mozzarella for the best melty, creamy texture.
  • Adjust the amount of tomato sauce if you prefer a saucier or crisper flatbread.
  • For a crispier crust, you can pre-toast the flatbread for 2-3 minutes before adding toppings.
  • Fresh basil should be added after baking to preserve its bright flavor and color.
  • Feel free to add red pepper flakes or garlic powder for extra flavor.
