Why You’ll Love This Flatbread Pizza

If you’ve never tried homemade flatbread pizza before, you’re in for a treat. The crust is crisp yet light, allowing the fresh flavors of tomato, basil, and mozzarella to shine. Plus, the drizzle of balsamic reduction adds a tangy twist that brings everything together.

Ingredients

• 4 naan flatbreads

• Extra virgin olive oil

• 2 fresh mozzarella balls, sliced

• 2 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced (or a handful of cherry tomatoes, halved)

• Salt and black pepper, to taste

• Fresh basil, chopped

• Balsamic glaze, for drizzling

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

2. Lightly brush each naan flatbread with olive oil (or use marinara sauce if preferred).

3. Layer with sliced tomatoes and mozzarella. Season with salt and pepper.

4. Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust turns golden.

5. Remove from the oven and top with chopped fresh basil and a drizzle of balsamic glaze.

6. Slice and serve immediately.

Tips for Success

• Make Ahead: Prep the pizza a day in advance and reheat it the next day—just keep the basil separate until ready to serve.

• Pair It: Serve with a simple green salad or a bowl of chilled gazpacho for a full summer meal.

• Kid-Friendly: This is a great recipe to make with kids—it’s simple, fun, and fast.

Recipe Variations

• Switch the Bread: Use pita, chapati, or focaccia if you don’t have naan.

• Try New Flavors: Swap olive oil for garlic- or herb-infused oil.

• Change the Toppings: Add roasted veggies, mix cheeses, or sprinkle on chili flakes.

• Go Global:

  • Greek-style: Feta, olives, and red peppers.

  • Jamaican twist: Pineapple, hot peppers, and smoked cheese.

  • Mexican version: Guacamole, queso, and salsa.
