Ingredients

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: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it is hot enough to crisp the flatbread and melt the cheese perfectly.
  2. Spread the sauce: Evenly spread 1/4 cup of tomato sauce over the flatbread, covering the surface but leaving a small border around the edges for crispiness.
  3. Add mozzarella: Layer the sliced fresh mozzarella cheese evenly over the tomato sauce, ensuring good coverage for a gooey melt.
  4. Season and drizzle: Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the cheese and season with salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
  5. Bake the flatbread: Place the flatbread in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
  6. Garnish and serve: Remove the flatbread pizza from the oven and immediately top with fresh basil leaves. Slice and serve while warm for the best taste.

Notes

  • Use fresh mozzarella for the best melt and flavor, but low-moisture mozzarella can be substituted if needed.
  • If you prefer a crispier crust, you can bake the flatbread for an additional 1-2 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
  • To add extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of dried oregano or red pepper flakes before baking.
  • Fresh basil should be added after baking to preserve its bright flavor and aroma.
