Margherita Flatbread Pizza
Description
This flatbread pizza starts with a base of naan or pita bread spread evenly with pizza sauce. Topped with freshly grated mozzarella cheese and halved cherry tomatoes, it creates a balance of creamy cheese and juicy tomatoes.
Sprinkled with Italian seasoning and optional red pepper flakes for mild heat, the pizza is baked at a moderate temperature until the cheese melts and the flatbread is heated through and slightly crisp.
Finishing touches of fresh basil leaves and a drizzle of sweet balsamic glaze complement the savory toppings with herbal and tangy notes.
This quick pizza variation is suitable for a light meal or snack and can be customized with store-bought balsamic glaze or homemade by reducing balsamic vinegar and brown sugar. Nutrition facts vary per slice depending on ingredients used.

- 1 Naan or pita flatbread
- 3 TBSP pizza sauce or thick spaghetti sauce
- ½ cup mozzarella cheese grated
- ½ cup cherry tomato halved

- Adjust toppings according to preference but keeping the Margherita foundation of sauce, cheese, and tomatoes.
