Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Keep the flatbread refrigerated until you’re ready to bake. If it was 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.
  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 or pizza stone.

Let it rest for a full 3 minutes after baking so the cheese sets slightly and doesn’t slide off when you slice.

Customize with your favorite toppings like sliced olives, bell peppers or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
