Easy Flat Bread Pizza

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.

Course: Dinner or Brunch
Cuisine: Italian, Middle Eastern
Servings: 12
Calories: 195 kcal
Author: Gillian Thompson
Ingredients
  • 350 g self-raising flour plus extra for dusting
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 350 g natural yoghurt plain
Toppings
  • 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
Instructions
  1. 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.

  2. Dust a clean work surface with flour, then tip out the dough.

  3. 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).

  4. Put the dough into a floured-dusted bowl and cover with a plate, then leave aside.

  5. 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).
  6. 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.

  7. 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.  

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

    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.

      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!

    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.

    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.
