Do you have to cook flatbread?
In this recipe we are using pre-made flatbread. So while the bread has already been baked we still cook the flatbread to cook all the toppings on it to make it a pizza.
How do you heat flatbread?
How to make a flatbread pizza
- Preheat oven: preheat the oven to 400 degrees F
- Prep Naan Bread: put your naan bread on a sheet pan and brush them with olive oil
- Top Pizza: spread the pizza sauce over the top of the flatbread, then put the slices of mozzarella cheese on, followed by your chicken, peppers, and red onions
- Bake: bake the pizza at 400 degree F for 8-10 minutes
- Serve: let the pizza cool for 1-2 minutes then slice and enjoy immediately
Variation ideas
- Margherita Flatbread Pizza: give this Margherita Pizza on flatbread a try
- Meat Lovers: throw bacon, sausage, pepperoni, ham, etc. on top of your sauce and cheese
- Veggie Packed: add a variety of different veggies on top of your flatbread pizza. Try mushrooms, artichokes, zucchini, broccoli, tomatoes, olives, spinach, arugula, etc.
- Add dressing on top: throw on some pesto, BBQ sauce, ranch, minced garlic, hot buffalo sauce, etc.
- Make garlic bread: throw on some butter, cheese, garlic, and salt
- Change your cheese: instead of mozzarella give asiago, parmesan, ricotta, etc.

April 17, 2014 at 6:34 pmI feel bad for the kids out there who didn’t have a weekly pizza night. I think if I had to choose, pizza is my favorite thing to eat. SO many different kinds out there. Loving the freshness of this pizza, Chelsea. And it can be made on the grill?? Totally have wanted to try making pizza on the grill before. This recipe intrigues me. Thanks girl, hope you’ve had a wonderful week!

April 22, 2014 at 9:38 pmHi! I popped over from the In and Out of the Kitchen link party to check out your recipe because I love basil and mozzarella! This pizza looked and sounded yummy, so I wanted to check it out. I’m not disappointed. I wouldn’t mind trying one of those dutch oven dinners either!
