Flatbread Pizza

Learn how to make a simple and delicious Flatbread Pizza with the freedom to put any toppings you want on it.

Who doesn’t love eating pizza? In fact, who doesn’t love making pizza? As easy as it can be to order pizza, I’ve always enjoyed making it myself. It was probably one of the first complete meals I could prepare on my own and is still something I love to do. It’s even easier to do when you can get your hands on quality, store-bought flatbread rather than having to make the pizza dough too. This simplifies the process and puts the emphasis on making the pizza the best it can be. That’s why this recipe for flatbread pizza is usually a crowd-pleaser.

With this recipe, you’re free to use whatever sauces, spices, and toppings you like to put on your pizza. The combinations for that are almost endless. Plus, the thin and chewy crust won’t overpower the customized ingredients on your pizza.

Is Flatbread Pizza Healthy?

The healthiness of your flatbread pizza will depend on a few factors. First, look closely at the nutritional facts on the store-bought flatbread because some types of flatbread are healthier than others. The other factor is the ingredients you put on the pizza. If you stick with tomatoes and perhaps a few other veggies, there will be plenty of nutritional value. But if you decide to add sauce, meats, and more cheese, the amount of fat and calories in the recipe will increase.

Customize Your Flatbread Pizza However You Like

As mentioned, the toppings you use on flatbread pizza can be customized to suit your taste. My recommendation is to lean heavily toward vegetables to keep the meal healthy. In addition to sliced tomatoes, you can consider bell peppers, red onions, black olives, and fresh arugula. If you want to use larger or harder veggies like broccoli or cauliflower, pre-cook them a little bit to soften them up. Of course, you’ll want to pre-cook meat like bacon, sausage, or chicken if you want to include them on your pizza. You can consider various types of shredded cheeses, too. I would also suggest sprinkling some Parmesan cheese on top right before putting the flatbread into the oven.

Serving Suggestions

It’s usually best to pair flatbread pizza with either a salad or a vegetable side dish. If you want to do a little of both, I suggest this Grilled Zucchini and Green Bean Salad. You can also simplify things with a classic Caesar Salad or a Greek Cucumber Salad. For a great vegetable side dish, I recommend trying Cheesy Roasted Cauliflower or perhaps Sautéed Spinach.
