Ingredients You’ll Need
- flatbread — use your favorite flatbread! They make for an amazing base for the pizzas and you don’t have to spend time prepping pizza dough! You can use store-bought ones or make your own! Here’s a link to my homemade flatbread recipe.
- marinara sauce — you can use homemade marinara sauce or store-bought. My go-to sauce is Rao’s. You can also get some with additional flavors, such as basil, mushrooms, etc, to change the recipe up.
- dried oregano — for a bit of extra flavor.
- garlic — I like to grate some garlic onto my sauce, but you can skip that if you’d like.
- cheeses — I use both mozzarella and parmesan cheese. The mozzarella creates a melty base while the parmesan adds a rich, tangy, nutty flavor.
- pepperoni — I use regular pepperoni, but Brooklyn pepperoni or turkey pepperoni is great too!
- basil & red pepper flakes — optional toppings for the flatbread pizzas! you can also add the red pepper flakes to your sauce for a bit of extra heat.
How to Make Flatbread Pepperoni Pizza
- Heat the oven to 425F.
- Place your flatbreads on a lined sheet pan. Add the marinara sauce to the middle and spread it over using the back of a spoon or spatula, leaving some space at the edge to create a crust.
- Add some dried oregano and grated garlic over the sauce if desired.
- Top the flatbreads with shredded mozzarella and parmesan.
- Then evenly place the pepperoni around the flatbreads.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the flatbreads pizza has turned golden brown.
- Allow to cool before cutting to serve.
Recipe Tips and Notes
- Give the flatbread pizza a minute or two to cool before cutting to give the cheese a chance to hold together. If you cut too early, the cheese will just be stuck to your knife or pizza cutter.
- One of my favorite swaps is using garlic flatbread instead of regular flatbread for extra garlic flavor.
- Other cheeses I love to use include provolone, goat cheese, monterey jack, and burrata.
- If you’re adding veggies such as mushrooms, bell peppers, etc, you’ll want to pre-cook it first as the 8 minutes in the oven won’t be enough to cook the vegetables through.
- Don’t go tooooo heavy on the cheese, as it can weigh down the pizza and slide off.
Make Ahead Tips
- Meal prep: once cooled, store the cooked pepperoni pizza in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the fridge. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
- Freezer: once cooled, wrap the flatbread pizzas tightly in plastic before transferring to a freezer-safe bag then freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat directly from frozen.
