Ingredients

Scale

For the base:

  • 1 package refrigerated pizza dough

For the garlic butter spread:

  • 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh basil
  • 6 minced garlic cloves

For the cheese topping:

  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated romano cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Baking Sheet and Dough: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Lightly grease a 10×15-inch baking sheet to avoid sticking. Press the refrigerated pizza dough evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, covering the entire surface to create the base for your flatbread pizza.
  2. Mix and Apply the Topping: In a small bowl, blend together the melted butter, minced garlic, and chopped fresh basil until well combined. Drizzle this fragrant garlic butter mixture evenly over the pressed dough for rich, herbaceous flavor throughout the base.
  3. Add the Cheese and Bake: Generously sprinkle the grated parmesan, romano, and shredded cheddar cheeses evenly over the garlic butter coated dough. Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges become crisp and the cheese melts to a golden bubbly finish.
  4. Slice and Serve: Remove the baked flatbread from the oven and allow it to cool for a minute. Cut into 12 squares and serve warm for a delightful cheesy garlic treat.

Notes

  • You can substitute fresh basil with dried basil if needed, but reduce the amount to 1 teaspoon as dried herbs are more concentrated.
  • For extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of red chili flakes before baking.
  • Use unsalted butter to better control sodium levels, especially if adding extra salt elsewhere.
  • This flatbread is best served warm fresh out of the oven but can be reheated briefly before serving.
  • Feel free to add toppings like sliced tomatoes or olives for variety.
