Flatbread pizza





I’ve been working on trying to perfect a perfect flatbread pizza.

This brand has a crust that is easy to satisfy your tastebuds.

I found it at Aldi’s grocery store.  Once you add your toppings and bake it for 5 to 10 minutes it’s as close I to a tasty pizza  as you can get. We like a crusty pizza but not cracker like and this is great!

You can make bruschetta using this crust too!  The options are many.

Here’s my topping recipe.  You can add to it if you like.  Enjoy!! 

We definitely did.  Back to Aldi I will go to pick up more of these flatbreads.

My recipe is as follows:

  I use Hunts or your preferred brand of diced petite tomatoes.

  This recipe makes 2 flatbread pizzas.

1- 15 oz can diced (I used diced today.)or you can use crushed tomatoes.

  I drain the tomatoes slightly and using my food processor blend until crushed.  ( you could probably used crushed tomatoes instead if you want.  To the tomatoes Add about 3/4 tsp.dried basil, 1 tsp. Onion powder,  salt  and  pepper to your taste. Stir well.

In a medium pan place about 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1  tablespoon  butter and cook on low and wait for it to simmer. Once simmering I add tomato mixture , cook on low for approximately 40 minutes.  It will reduce slightly.

Note: While simmering I put a pinch of baking soda in the tomato mixture. Pinch as 1/4 or less baking soda.

Stir well.  It will sizzle so keep stirring.  It will remove the acid from the tomatoes and sweeten the sauce.  No sugar necessary. That removes the acidity and no sugar is needed to sweeten it.

 I have worked and worked trying to perfect my pizza sauce.  We don’t care for oregano or garlic so I don’t use it.  Our hometown pizza is not loaded with extra seasoning.  The cheese is white American and a little mozzarella to hold it.  We love it.  I hope you try it and let me know.❤️

Note:The 15 oz can of tomatoes should be great for one large pizza or two flatbread crusts.  We make this recipe on this flatbread or in a tray shape using my homemade pizza dough recipe but this is definitely a quick option. (cookie sheet pan).

Give it a try!  It’s so good!  It's easy!!!!!
