Flatbread Pizza Recipe

Flatbread pizza is perfect for quick weeknight meals. Everyone loves these individual-sized pizzas with a crispy crust and their favorite pizza toppings.

We use homemade flatbread when we make these, I’ve almost always got some in the freezer. You can easily use store-bought. Naan bread also makes a great alternative if you can’t find them in your store.

Everyone loves being able to choose their own toppings.

Combination Ideas

1. Pepperoni and pineapple
2. Pepperoni and onion
3. Turkey Italian sausage, mushroom, and green peppers, regular Italian sausage is always delicious too
4. Margherita pizza, garlic oil base, thinly sliced tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and fresh basil strips
5. Pepperoni, ham, Italian sausage
6. Hamburger and green olive
7. Ranch dressing base, bacon, chicken, roasted garlic, also great with bread chicken fingers instead
8. Pepperoni and mushrooms, the canned ones actually if I am feeding Brian and according to him “Lots of pepperonis…and a layer of pepperoni on top that you let almost burn…”
9. Mushrooms and extra cheese
10. Sausage and mushrooms

The best part about making pizza at home is that you can create whatever you want.  There is no limit on what can be used.

Notes

Homemade Flatbread Ingredients:1 1/3 cups warm water, about 104 to 120ºF (any warmer and you will kill the yeast), 1 cup milk (whole, 2%, or skim) warmed in a microwave for 20 to 20 seconds to remove the chill, 2 tablespoons cooking oil, 4 teaspoons instant yeast, 2 teaspoons granulated white sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 5 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour.

Homemade Flatbread Directions: Add warmed milk, water, oil, yeast, and sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the dough hook and mix. Let stand for a few minutes. Add salt and mix well. Add the flour and continue mixing with the dough hook until all the flour is absorbed. If the dough is still sticking to the sides of the bowl, add flour 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough comes together as a ball sticking to the bottom of the bowl. Once the dough is a cohesive ball, continue kneading until the dough is soft and smooth.  About 5 minutes. Remove dough from hook and place some oil in the bowl. Roll dough around to coat the entire dough ball with oil. Cover bowl and set aside until the dough has doubled in size. This will take 1 to 2 hours depending and temperature and humidity. Once the dough has doubled in size, deflate dough and place on a lightly floured work surface and cut dough into 16 equal-sized pieces. Roll each piece in a ball and set aside on a floured surface. Cover dough balls with a kitchen towel and allow to rest for 15 to 30 minutes. While waiting for the dough to relax, preheat an electric griddle to medium heat.  Once the dough has relaxed, roll each ball into thin circles.  Make them as thin or thick as you wish, I prefer them about 1/16 to 1/8 inch thick. Place dough onto the hot cooking surface and let it sit without disturbing until it is covered in bubbles and starts to puff. Gently lift an edge to see if there are golden brown spots, if there are, go ahead and flip it. Continue cooking until the second side also has golden brown spots.  This takes 2 to 3 minutes per side. Once cooked, remove to a clean kitchen towel and allow them to cool. I stack them until they are all cooked. Once cooled, place into an airtight container. Any flatbreads that will not be eaten that day, place in the freezer to retain freshness.
