Thin flatbread pizzas for a low-effort dinner

Flatbreads make a convenient base when you want pizza flavours without making dough. Keep the topping layer light so the base has a chance to crisp. The result is intentionally a quick flatbread meal rather than a traditional long-fermented pizza.

Ingredients

How to make it

  1. Heat oven to 220°C / 425°F and place a baking tray inside to warm.
  2. Mix passata with oregano. Spread a thin layer over each flatbread, leaving a small border.
  3. Add mozzarella, pepper and mushrooms in a light even layer. Drizzle with oil.
  4. Carefully transfer to the hot tray and bake for 8 to 12 minutes, until cheese is melted and the base is crisp. Add basil if using and slice.

Make it work in your kitchen

Wet toppings can make the centre soft. Pat vegetables dry and avoid piling them high. Check the flatbread label for wheat and other allergens. If adding meat, use safely prepared cooked meat and heat the assembled meal appropriately rather than placing raw meat on this quick-cooking base.
