This Easy Flat Bread Pizza recipe is not only the perfect after school or packed lunch snack but (the flat bread itself) is also the perfect vessel for serving with an array of Middle Eastern style dishes.
We first started eating flat breads with a delicious hummus and minced, spiced lamb recipe from the The Moro Cookbook. I would always end up with a few flat breads leftover which gave me the idea to turn them into Flat Bread Pizzas for the kids the next day. Flat Breads freeze perfectly well so you can actually make up a few easy flat bread pizzas literally within minutes.

Here below is my Easy Flat Bread Recipe Video. This is my first and so far, only recipe video to date. I had to film in my lounge where there is plenty of daylight. My kitchen is far too dark which means I won’t be producing many videos until this situation changes.

I’ve made these Flat Bread Pizzas several times now and they always get rapidly eating up with no trace of crumbs.
Once you’ve made your batch of flat breads just top with your favourite base sauce. I like to use a roasted tomato sauce or a pesto sauce base.
Add toppings of your choice. I used, ham, lardons (chopped bacon) and some chopped olives and finished them off with a mix of cheese. For the cheese I like to use a mix of Cheddar, Mozzarella and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
On top of pesto flat breads I topped with goats cheese and a little thyme.
Pop them under the grill for a few minutes until the cheese had melted and bubbling. Remove and let cool slightly before cutting.

A quick & easy Flat Bread Pizza recipe perfect for a tasty after school snack and also great for packed lunches.
- 350 g self-raising flour plus extra for dusting
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 350 g natural yoghurt plain
- 120 g roasted tomato sauce (I used 6 cubes for four flat bread pizzas)
- 50 g parmesan grated
- 50 g mozzarella grated
- 50 g cheddar grated
- 120 g ham alternatively use lardon, chorizo, salami or anchovies
- olive oil to drizzle
- basil leaves
-
Add all the flatbread ingredients to a mixing bowl and mix together with a spoon, then use clean hands to pat and bring everything together.
-
Dust a clean work surface with flour, then tip out the dough.
-
Knead for a minute or so to bring it all together (this isn’t a traditional bread recipe, so you don’t need to knead it for long – just enough time to bring everything together).
-
Put the dough into a floured-dusted bowl and cover with a plate, then leave aside.
-
Dust a clean work surface and rolling pin with flour, then divide the dough in half, then divide each half into 6 equal-sized pieces (roughly the size of a golf ball).
-
With your hands, pat and flatten the dough, then use a rolling pin to roll each piece into 12cm rounds, roughly 2mm to 3mm thick.
-
Use a knife to cut 6 lines into the centre of each round, leaving about 3cm at each end. You don't need to cut these lines if making into pizzas.
-
Place the griddle pan on a high heat, then once hot, cook each one for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, or until bar-marked and puffed up, turning with tongs.
-
Either eat them as is or let cool and add base sauce (classic tomato sauce or a pesto work well) and your prefered topping combinations and place under the grill for about 2 minutes or until the cheese has melted and is turning golden brown.
Yum, these look absolutely delicious and I love that you can customize them any way you want. I would definitely be all over the pesto and goat cheese while my family would turn their nose up at it. Love that you can personalize for everyone.
Thank you Megan. My favourite is the pesto and goats cheese too. 🙂
Pizzas are a great way to use up leftovers. Somehow, the food seems new and fresh when it becomes a pizza topping!! Love this idea… I need to find some flat bread.
I love being able to get more meal out of one and no one even knowing don’t you?
These flat breads look amazing! I love the one with the pesto. Looks like the perfect lunch!
Yes, the pesto one seems to be well liked. It sure was tasty 😉
These would be perfect for a family dinner or make-your-own flatbread party to use different toppings! Great job on your first video 🙂
That’s a good idea, because the flat breads are much easier to handle than raw pizza dough for the kids. Great idea on the pizza party.
By far, my favourite way to prepare pizza! I love how easy it is to whip up individual pizzas – suited for everyone’s personal tastes – by using flatbreads at the base. You’ve just given me a few more pizza topping ideas too!
Hi Byron, glad you got some inspiration. 🙂
I will never refuse pizza — even if it’s with flatbread. The advantage here, though, is that each person can have their own special flavor. If a pizza urge happens, it’s always great to pick up some flatbread and keep it in the freezer. I do love your combos.
Thank you Marisa, coming from an Italian that’s cool to hear. I’m also half Italian and not sure what my relatives are thinking about my flat bread pizza… ha ha!!
These sounds tasty. I have never made a flatbread with yogurt before but I keep hearing recipes about it. I might have to try.
Yes, super easy too. Thanks for stopping by.
These look great especially when your making pizza for everyone that likes different toppings. Personally I don’t care for the tomato base ones but would be all about the pesto base 🙂
Thanks Stephanie, it’s great if everyone tops their own to their own liking. That way no complaints.
These look yummy! I love that you can pretty much top this beautifully made flat bread with anything!!
Thanks Dene 🙂
I love how simple and easy this is to make. Oh and make small individual ones. would be cool to get the kids involved. Yum.
Hi Venna, these are a perfect way to get kids into the kitchen helping out. Easy intro to pizza for them.
That flatbread with pesto and goats cheese is screaming my name so loudly!!!
That sounds like there perfect combination of flavours to me!!!
Such a fun recipe, I bet my kids would love to make these!
Hi Claire, the pesto and goats cheese on warmed flat bread is yummy – but you know that already !!!
Great idea for a quick dinner or lunch with no fuzz. Loving the use of the bread and the toppings. Flatbreads are great also for repurposing leftovers.
Hi Adriana, yes they are a great way of using up bits of ham or bacon you have lying around, or even chicken or whatever really.
Yum! These sound delicious! I’m totally wishing I had that pesto and goat cheese one to snack on right now (it’s late t night and these sound perfect, lol!)
Well you if you had some flat breads in the freezer, along with some pesto stored away for a hungry night in blogging. Makes you hungry seeing all this food all the time doesn’t it?!
oh wow, this is a great idea, love the flat bread idea!!! i m liking that roasted tomato sauce too!!!, Hoping there to check out the recipe!! 🙂
Hi Priya, glad you liked the idea. The roasted tomato sauce is such a perfect base to always have on hand in the freezer, that and pesto too.
What a great recipe. We love pizza on Friday nights. Will have to try this on our next pizza night Friday.
I’m obsessed with flatbread pizza these days! So easy and delicious. We eat pizza ALL of the time, so this recipe is definitely perfect for our household!
Grilling flatbread is so fun. It’s such a great option for a quick and easy dinner!
Yes it is isn’t it, so many different flavour combination to be enjoyed too.
These are perfect to have handy. I always have last minute urges for pizza but don’t want to go and make a crust now. Loving the different combinations
I think it’s worth while have some in the freezer always for convenience sake.
Great idea and great for sneaking in pureed veg for the kids!Love them.x
Yes totally, it’s the only way I can get veg into some of my kids
I’, such a pizza fan and I love making them at home. These flatbread pizza is such a homerun for me and I love the different toppings you’ve used.

Wow they look fabulous. I have made pizza on pita and naan before but not made my own flat breads. Strange as i make most of the regular bread we eat. You have inspired me to have a go.
Thank you Jacqui. Hope you give it a try.
Great idea to use flatbread! And I love that you grilled it, grilling adds such a great flavor. Yum!
Grilled flat breads are so tasty. I’ve never had them any other way.
We all love pizza and homemade pizza is even better! Delicious! Thank you for sharing with #CookBlogShare x
Thank you Kirsty.
FAB idea and so brilliantly easy peasy! I’ve done something similar in the past but not for ages…you have inspired me to do this again soon! Thanks for linking up with #CookBlogShare 🙂 Eb x
Thanks Eb, sometimes we just need a little reminder, there are so many delicious things to cook so some things get forgotten about.
A lovely easy peasy recipe to feed Daddy Peacock mozzarella. I love your spotty ingredient bowls as well!

Thank you Matt, glad you liked it. 🙂
Such a great recipe Gillian – I’ve never seen a bread recipe so simple! Two questions: 1- can you bake the bread in the oven instead? (we don’t have griddle pan), and 2- Can you share what software you used for the video? Great job btw, looks very pro 🙂 Thank you.
Thank you Hai Anh, I’ve never tried cooking the flat breads in the oven but I reckon you could. I’d just make sure to cook them on a hot tray, a bit like you would a pizza. Otherwise, you could use a heavy based frying pan or skillet. And for the video we just used Imovie.
