With my Margherita Flatbread Pizza, tomato sauce is layered on a slice of crispy flatbread and topped with fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil. Add a sprinkle of sea salt, pop it in the oven for 10 minutes and you've got a quick lunch or dinner ready in just 15 minutes.
It can also be cooked in the air fryer in just 5 minutes! You can make a basic cheese flatbread, spinach & feta flatbread or pepperoni flatbread the same way. This simple meal is great for busy weeknights or lazy weekends...and for pizza lovers!
I could eat pizza every day, for every meal. Who can resist the savory, cheesy taste of a fresh pizza? Mediterranean pizza on homemade pizza dough, thin crust pizza dough, or authentic Italian pizza dough is made monthly in my house, and it never gets old!
Ingredients
- Flatbread: I like using garlic flavored naan bread but any flatbread works great. Even a pita or tortilla! I recently started making homemade naan bread, and it really beats the store bought kind!
- Plain tomato sauce: I use a can of tomato sauce without any seasonings.
- Fresh mozzarella slices
- Oregano & garlic powder
- Chopped tomatoes: you can also use slices. I like using plum tomatoes because they cut smaller, but you can use whatever tomatoes you have on hand.
- Fresh basil leaves
- Sea salt
Ingredient Notes
- Don't skip the oregano and garlic powder! These really give the sauce a bit of a kick, so don't skip them!
- I don't recommend substituting with dried basil. The fresh basil really enhances the other flavors.
- I also don't recommend using table salt. The minerals in sea salt enhance its flavor and your pizza won't be as tasty without it. Be subtle with sea salt at first. You can always add more.
- Fresh mozzarella slices are best because they've melt more creamy and with a bit more flavor than packaged shredded mozzarella. Plus you want some bites with lots of cheese!
- Add roasted tomatoes to give this delicious recipe even more of a flavor boost!
How To Make Margherita Flatbread Pizza
Making flatbread pizza is super easy! It takes minutes to prepare and minutes to cook.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit, leaving a pizza stone of baking sheet in the oven. Transferring your uncooked flatbread pizza to a heated stone creates a nice crispy crust. If using an air fryer, you can skip preheating unless your air fryer requires you to. The flatbread can be air fried directly on the rack or in the basket.
- Spread an even layer of tomato sauce onto the bread. Sprinkle with garlic powder and oregano and place the mozzarella slices on top. Place tomatoes in the gaps between the cheese slices and sprinkle with sea salt. Drizzle with olive oil.
- Put the flatbread on the stone in the preheated oven. Bake for 10 minutes. If using an air fryer, cook for 4-5 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove from oven and place the basil leaves on top of the pizza. Let them settle into the pizza for a few minutes.
Enjoy!
