Flatbread makes a great platform for quick pizza. Remember those English Muffin pizzas we made when we were kids? These flatbread pizzas are the modern version. Top them with whatever you like. I bought Trader Joe’s Middle Eastern flatbread. You can buy pocketless pita or naan bread at any grocery store for the same effect. To bake, heat oven to 400 degrees and bake about ten minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Here are a few ideas:
1. Classic Pepperoni
- 1/2 C. plain tomato sauce, I use Hunts
- 1/2 t. garlic powder
- 1/2 t. dried oregano or basil
- salt and pepper
- 6 flatbread rounds
- 1/2 C. mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 18-24 slices of pepperoni
Combine the tomato sauce, garlic powder, oregano, salt and pepper and spread about 2 T. of the sauce mixture on each flatbread. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over each flatbread. Distribute the pepperoni among the flatbreads. Sprinkle a little more cheese over the top.
2. Bacon, Apple, and Cheddar
- 6 slices of bacon, fried and chopped
- 1/2 Granny Smith apple, sliced very thin
- 1/2 C. sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 t. olive oil
- salt and pepper
- 6 flatbread rounds
Brush each flatbread with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Distibute the bacon and cheese evenly over the flatbreads. Top with 4-5 apple slices per pizza.
3. Arugula and Chevre
- 6 flatbread rounds
- 1 C. arugula leaves
- 6 large basil leaves
- 3 T. chevre
- salt and pepper
- 3 t. olive oil
Brush each flatbread with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Distribute the arugula and basil evenly among the flatbreads. Dot the chevre on top. Drizzle a little more olive oil over the top of each flatbread.
