    The flatbread margherita pizza recipe is perfect for days when you just don't know or have time or energy for much cooking.

    You can make the flatbread pizza Margherita in about 15 minutes. It only takes a few minutes to top with whatever you like, and it takes about 10 minutes to do so in the oven. And there are actually no limits when it comes to toppings (See below).

    Try our Roast Pumpkin Pizza and the best Sheet Pan Pizza, too. Or make some Cream Cheese Peppers on the side.

    The type of flatbread you can use

    Turkish bread: I use thick Turkish bread very often (like in the pictures). When using this kind, you should always split it in half. Otherwise, the slices will be way too boring. A thick one split in half is enough for 2 adults and 1-2 children.

    Naan or pita can replace Turkish bread; they're easy to find and reasonably sized. One is normally enough for one portion. If it's very small, you can always make two small pizzas for each person.

    Middle Eastern bread: If available, use thin Lebanese or Syrian bread. There is no need or way to split it. It is thin but large; one loaf should be enough for two adults. If it's smaller, use as much as you consider necessary.

    How to make flatbread pizza?

    • Step #1: Split the bread if necessary.
    • Step #2: Add your favorite sauce (homemade or store-bought). Try our Neapolitan Pizza Sauce or the Hearty Marinara Sauce.

    Step #3: Top the flatbread pizza with anything you like. For Margherita-style, add oregano and mozzarella.

    More topping ideas

    Burrata and prosciutto: This is the luxury version of a flatbread margherita pizza. Add dried oregano and burrata slices. Bake and top with thin slices of prosciutto crudo and rocket leaves. So good!!!

    Salami/ pepperoni: The kids' favorite is topped with dried oregano, grated cheese, and thin salami/ pepperoni slices.

    Hawaiian style: Add chopped cooked ham, grated cheese, and canned pineapple slices or cubes.

    Chicken: Barbecue sauce, cooked chicken pieces, thinly sliced onion, and grated cheese.

    Veggie: Top with dried oregano, cooked veggies of choice (any leftovers, even potatoes), sliced olives, and grated cheese (or blue cheese, mozzarella, etc.).

    Make it on the stovetop

    Use bread that will easily fit in a large cast iron skillet or nonstick pan. Brush it lightly with oil on both sides.

    Top with your chosen topping.

    Place the bread in the heated pan. Cover with the lid and heat through until the cheese is nicely melted.

    Add fresh herbs or other fresh toppings and serve.

    How to store?

    Margherita flatbread pizza is best served immediately. But cooled leftovers are great as well, and they make a great lunch box for school or work.

    Refrigerate leftovers for 1-2 days in an airtight container.

    Reheat in the oven.
