Margherita Flatbread Pizza Recipe
A quick and delicious Margherita Flatbread Pizza made with naan, fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, garlic, and basil. Ready in just 15 minutes for busy weeknights or casual gatherings.
Ingredients
- 2 naan breads (Flatbread) store-bought or homemade
- 3 pieces fresh mozzarella sliced into 1 cm thick rounds
- 1 ripe tomato thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic pressed or finely minced
- 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 handful fresh basil torn or chopped for serving
- to taste salt and black pepper
Instructions
- Press or finely mince the garlic and stir it into the olive oil. This mix will flavor both the crust and the finishing drizzle.
- Brush half of the garlic oil over the naan and place on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 to 8 minutes until lightly golden and crisp.
- Layer slices of mozzarella over the naan, season lightly with salt and pepper, then top with thin tomato slices. Sprinkle a bit more salt and pepper.
- Return to the oven and bake for 5 minutes. Switch to broil for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese bubbles and the edges are golden.
- Mix remaining garlic oil with balsamic vinegar. Drizzle lightly over the finished pizzas and top with fresh basil. Slice and serve warm.
Notes
- Pat mozzarella dry with paper towels before slicing to avoid soggy crust.
- Use thin tomato slices to prevent excess moisture; salt and drain if very juicy.
- Pre-bake naan to ensure a sturdy, crisp base.
- Use a light hand with the balsamic drizzle to balance—not overwhelm—the toppings.
- Add fresh basil after baking for the best flavor and appearance.
