Ingredients

Scale

Flatbreads

  • 4 prepared flatbreads

Cheese Mixture

  • ½ cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Other Toppings

  • ¼ cup pesto
  • 2 Roma tomatoes, thinly sliced
  • Fresh basil, torn, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and place the flatbreads on top, preparing them for assembly and baking.
  2. Prepare the Cheese Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the whole-milk ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  3. Assemble the Flatbreads: Evenly spread the cheese mixture over the surface of each flatbread. Add small dollops of pesto distributed across each flatbread, then layer thin slices of Roma tomatoes on top.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Place the assembled flatbreads in the preheated oven and bake for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese has melted completely and the edges of the flatbreads turn crisp and golden brown.
  5. Finish and Serve: Remove the baked flatbreads from the oven, garnish with torn fresh basil leaves for a burst of freshness, and serve warm. Enjoy your flavorful Pesto Flatbread Pizza!

Notes

  • Use prepared flatbreads or naan for convenience, or make your own for a homemade touch.
  • Adjust the amount of garlic and salt according to your taste preferences.
  • For a crispier base, you can pre-toast the flatbreads for 2 minutes before adding toppings.
  • This recipe is easily customizable – try adding olives, artichokes, or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven for best results.
