Does Flatbread taste like pizza?

Flatbreads of all kinds have become a very popular menu appetizer item in recent years. This one tastes like you are eating a slice of pepperoni pizza.

How do I keep my flatbread from getting soggy?

To keep your flatbreads from getting soggy, put a baking rack on top of your sheet pan. This will prevent the flatbread from stewing in the juices that drip from the cheese.

What you’ll need for Pepperoni Flatbread:

2 Flatbreads of your choice. Today I used Garlic Naan because the garlic goes well with the pepperoni.
2 tablespoons tomato paste.
6 tablespoons of tomato sauce.
1/2 cup low-moisture part-skim mozzarella, shredded. Ideally, use the whole milk kind. Do not use low-fat. It does not melt very well.
1/4 cup Gruyère or Fontina Cheese, shredded.
6 ounces fresh mozzarella.
6 ounce bag sliced Pepperoni.
8 leaves of fresh basil (optional).
Other topping such as mushrooms and onions (optional).
Serve with grated Parmesan cheese and chili flakes.

How to make the pepperoni flatbread pizzas

Lay the flatbreads on a sheet with a baking rack.

Combine the tomato paste and tomato sauce. Spread over the top of each flatbread.

Spread the shredded mozzarella and gruyere on top of the tomato sauce.

Top that with the pepperoni slices. Put as many or few as you like.

Dot the top with some fresh mozzarella.

Rip the basil leaves into small pieces and sprinkle on top.

At this point, you can add extra topping as desired. On my husband’s flatbread, I added some shallots and a few mushrooms. I sprinkled a little bit of salt on the mushrooms.

Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 15 to 17 minutes.

Serve with grated Parmesan Cheese and chili flakes.
