Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking the flatbreads to crispy perfection.
Prepare Flatbreads: Place the flatbreads on a baking sheet and brush each lightly with olive oil. This helps create a golden, crisp crust.
Add Sauce: Spread about ¼ cup of pizza sauce evenly over each flatbread, leaving a small border around the edges to keep toppings from spilling over.
Layer Cheese: Sprinkle each flatbread with shredded mozzarella followed by grated Parmesan cheese to add melty richness and flavor.
Add Toppings: Top with pepperoni or cooked sausage slices, black olives, and diced bell peppers. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning to enhance the classic pizza profile.
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden, and the edges of the flatbread are crisp.
Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired. Slice each flatbread and serve immediately while hot.

Notes

Customize with your favorite toppings like mushrooms, red onion, or arugula for extra flavor and texture.
For a crispier crust, bake the flatbreads directly on the oven rack instead of a baking sheet.
These flatbreads also work great on the grill, imparting a smoky flavor and crispy base.
