Ready in 30 minutes, flatbread pizza is such an easy option for lunch or dinner. With so many options for toppings, this recipe will please the whole family!

 

Love pizza? Me too. From our famous Mediterranean pizza or breakfast pizza to easy caprese pizza, grilled pizza and even our DIY pizza bar to enjoy with your family on a Friday night, we’ve got it all. This flatbread pizza is our latest obsession. Not only is it super simple and ready in no time, but it’s also versatile enough to accommodate picky eaters.

Why this recipe works

• Easier than regular pizza: You’re not required to make a dough, wait for it to rise or roll it out. There are so many delicious and quality flatbreads available at regular supermarkets. Use store-bought flatbread to make the process a breeze! You can also use naan if flatbread is not available.
• Cook a few at a time: Flatbreads are usually 6 inches in diameter, which is great for a personal pizza. You can cook 4 to 5 at the same time in the oven meaning everyone gets what they like and no one needs to wait!
• Quick: You can have dinner on the table in less than 30 minutes, which counts as a win in my book!
• A little something for everyone: Veggie lovers can pack theirs with veggies and meat lovers can use any kind of meat they like as long as it’s fully cooked. Got leftover chicken or steak? Make a flatbread pizza!

Flatbread pizza vs regular pizza

Regular pizza uses yeasted pizza dough whereas flatbread dough can be either yeasted or without yeast. Pizza dough is chewier whereas the other one is flatter, but not as thin as Turkish lahmacun or manakeesh.

Flatbread dough is also cooked before toppings are added while the pizza dough cooks with the toppings. Keep in mind that you can use store-bought flatbread for this recipe.

Flatbread pizza toppings

There are endless options for topping flatbread. Let’s start with the sauce: you can use the classic pizza sauce, olive oil, toum (Lebanese garlic sauce), zhoug or pesto. You can also drizzle some balsamic glaze on the flatbread pizza right before serving.

As for the meat, you can use anything as long as it’s fully cooked. So leftover chicken, sausage or steak would be perfect for this recipe.

When it comes to vegetables, I love using olives, peppers, onion, artichoke or spinach. I would also avoid using hard vegetables such as broccoli unless you’re going to sauté or cook them at least partially before adding to the pizza.

As for the cheese you use to top the pizza, you have many choices but the most common one is mozzarella. Depending on the recipe, you can use shredded mozzarella, a ball of mozzarella that you tear apart yourself, a log to slice or mozzarella pearls. Other kinds of cheese including feta, blue cheese or cheddar would work, too.

These are perfect on their own, but you can also serve them with Greek baked fries, garlic knots, a simple Greek salad, or fried halloumi.
