Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
Prepare the Flatbreads: Place the flatbreads on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they lay flat and spaced evenly.
Spread the Sauce: Evenly spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over each flatbread, covering the surface but leaving a small border around the edges.
Add Cheese and Seasonings: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and optionally crushed red pepper flakes evenly over the sauce for rich flavor and a bit of heat.
Top the Flatbreads: Arrange your choice of pepperoni, cooked sausage, black olives, bell peppers, and red onion slices over the cheese to customize your flatbread.
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the edges of the flatbreads turn golden and crisp.
Cool and Garnish: Remove from the oven and let the flatbreads cool slightly to set. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley for a burst of color and fresh flavor.
Serve: Slice the flatbreads into portions and serve warm for the best taste and texture.

Notes

Customize your flatbread with favorite pizza toppings like mushrooms, spinach, or sun-dried tomatoes for variety.
For a crispier crust, bake the flatbreads directly on the oven rack for the last 2 minutes of cooking.
