Flatbread Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it is hot enough for baking the flatbreads.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Flatbreads

    Place the flatbreads on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush each flatbread with olive oil evenly to enhance flavor and help crispiness.

  3. 3

    Add the Sauce

    Spread ½ cup of pizza sauce on each flatbread, leaving a small border around the edges.

  4. 4

    Add the Cheeses

    Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese and ¼ cup of grated Parmesan cheese over each flatbread, ensuring even coverage.

  5. 5

    Season

    Sprinkle salt and black pepper to taste over the cheese to enhance the flavors.

  6. 6

    Bake the Flatbreads

    Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the flatbreads are golden brown.

  7. 7

    Add Fresh Basil

    Once the flatbreads are out of the oven, immediately top with fresh basil leaves, allowing them to wilt slightly from the heat.

  8. 8

    Slice and Serve

    Slice the flatbreads into squares or wedges and serve warm. Enjoy your Margherita Flatbread!
