Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

2 flatbreads, 6 to 8 inches in diameter
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
1 large tomato, thinly sliced
113 grams (4 ounces) fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
8 fresh basil leaves, plus more for serving
2 pinches dried oregano
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C).

Place the flatbreads on a baking sheet. Brush or rub the olive oil evenly over the surface of each flatbread.

Arrange the sliced tomatoes over the flatbreads, followed by the mozzarella slices and basil leaves.

Sprinkle dried oregano evenly over both flatbreads, then season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbling, and lightly golden in spots, and the bottom of the flatbread is crisp.

Remove from the oven, drizzle lightly with extra olive oil, and garnish with additional torn basil leaves. Slice and serve warm.

Storage/Reheating

Store leftover flatbread pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
