Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Store-bought flatbreads (or naan breads)
- 0.5 cup Tomato paste or marinara sauce
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 6 pieces Cherry tomatoes, sliced
- 8 pieces Pepperoni slices (optional)
- 4 pieces Fresh basil leaves (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Brush the flatbreads lightly with olive oil on one side and place them on the lined baking sheet.
Spread 1/4 cup of tomato paste or marinara sauce evenly over each flatbread, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle a generous layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of the sauce.
Arrange the cherry tomatoes and pepperoni slices (if using) evenly over the cheese.
Sprinkle dried oregano, salt, and black pepper over the toppings for added flavor.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly with slightly golden edges.
Carefully remove the pizzas from the oven and let them cool for 2 minutes.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving, if desired.
Slice into wedges and enjoy immediately!
