Margherita Flatbread Pizza

Ingredients

• 1 flatbread or naan bread
• 3 tablespoons tomato sauce or marinara
• 4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese
• 8 fresh basil leaves
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Place flatbread on a baking sheet.
3. Spread tomato sauce evenly across the flatbread, leaving a small border.
4. Tear mozzarella into small pieces and distribute over the sauce.
5. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
6. Bake for 8-10 minutes until cheese is melted and edges are golden.
7. Remove from oven and top with fresh basil leaves.
8. Cut into slices and serve immediately.

Notes

• Use room temperature mozzarella for even melting.
• Add basil after baking to preserve its fresh flavor and color.
• For crispier flatbread, place it directly on a preheated pizza stone or cast iron skillet.
• Prep all ingredients before baking as the cooking time is short.
• Leftover pizza can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheated in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes.
