Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 flatbreads (naan or pita)
  • ½ cup tomato sauce
  • 1 cup fresh mozzarella, sliced
  • 1–2 Roma tomatoes, sliced
  • Fresh basil leaves
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Method
 

  1. Before You Begin
  2. Prepare your cookware as needed. Cooking times and results may vary depending on your oven and ingredients.
  3. Preheat Oven
  4. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. Prepare Base
  6. Place flatbreads on baking sheet. Lightly brush with olive oil for crisp texture.
  7. Add Sauce
  8. Spread a thin, even layer of tomato sauce over each flatbread.
  9. Add Toppings
  10. Arrange mozzarella evenly and add tomato slices. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  11. Bake
  12. Bake for about 8–10 minutes, until the cheese is melted, the edges are lightly golden, and the flatbread is crisp.
  13. Finish
  14. Remove from oven, top with fresh basil, slice, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Thin sauce layers prevent sogginess.
  • Even cheese distribution ensures balanced melting.
  • High heat produces crisp texture.
  • Add basil after baking for freshest flavor.
  • Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours; store up to 2 days (do not freeze).
  • Reheat in oven at 375°F or skillet until hot and crisp.
