Ingredients for Easy Margherita Flatbread Pizza Recipe
This is the easiest flatbread pizza that is totally customisable. This Naan Pizza is full of cheesy goodness and takes just 10 mins to make. Use the ingredients that are readily available at home.
What you’ll need
Naan Bread or any other flatbread – Store bought Naan bread work great for this recipe, specially because they are precooked. We are cutting down on the time needed for making and cooking the flatbread. However I do make Garlic Naan bread at home and save some for this pizza too!! Good quality Pitta bread works too.
Good Quality Flatbread = Fabulous Pizza
Sauce – Any tomato based sauce will work amazing. I like to use Pizza Sauce or Pasta Sauce or even Tomato Ketchup. If you like a change, how about using some Pesto Sauce.
Cheese – I like to use Mozzarella cheese, either sliced or grated. However you can use a combo of Mozzarella and Cheddar or any other cheese available in your refrigerator.
Toppings – Get creative with your toppings to go on your pizza. Some of the topping suggestions – tomatoes, olives, red onions, jalapenos, spinach, pineapple, sweet corn – literally anything
Italian seasoning – lends the perfect flavors to the pizza! I would recommend using a sprinkle of the seasoning in your recipe.
Garnishes – Use anything you fancy – Basil leaves, Rocket leaves
Others { Optional } – Use chilli flakes for a kick of spice . Season with salt & pepper if desired.

TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS FOR MAKING EASY FLATBREAD PIZZA
Good Quality Flatbread is the key. I recommend using a naan bread, pitta bread or any other good quality bread . A thinner flatbread can leave your pizza soggy.
SAUCE is the essence of the recipe. Quality tomato based sauce will work. I have used Dolmino Bolognese sauce for this recipe and pizza was out of the world.
Use tomato ketchup if you don’t have any other sauce available in your pantry. Add a sprinkle of garlic powder to it and elevate the flavors.
CHEESE – Fresh Mozzarella cheese is recommended for any pizza recipe. But you can use a combination of cheese too and make a Five Cheese Flatbread Pizza.
SEASONING – Please do not skip Italian seasoning! Alternatively you can use some dried oregano, thyme, rosemary and basil.
Like your Pizza Plain – Omit the toppings and garnishes!
I don’t have an Oven. How do I make this margherita flatbread pizza?
Use a microwave to cook your pizza until the cheese is melted, approximately 2 – 2 1/2 minutes.
It can also be made on Stove Top. Heat a non stick pan and spread some oil. Place the prepared Naan pizza . Cover the pizza with lid and cook in medium heat until cheese is melted.
