Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Keep the flatbread refrigerated until ready to bake. If it has been frozen, thaw it in the refrigerator first.
  2. Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 350°F.
  3. Remove the flatbread from its packaging and discard any plastic film. Place the flatbread directly on the middle oven rack.
  4. Bake for 15-18 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the edges are golden brown.
  5. Let the flatbread stand for at least 3 minutes before slicing and serving.

Recipe Tips

For extra crispiness, bake the flatbread on a preheated baking sheet.

Let the flatbread rest before slicing to allow the cheese to set slightly.
