Flatbread Pizza

Flatbread Pizza

Base:

• Naan or other flat bread (we love the garlic kind from Trader Joes but you could also make your own!)

Sauces:

• Alfredo sauce (either store bought from a jar or home made. I use the "Guiltless Alfredo" recipe from the same ourbestbites site that I posted previously)
• Mix some Alfredo sauce with pesto (optional)
• Red sauce

Toppings (mix and match)

• Fresh baby spinach leaves, coarsely chopped or ripped apart
• Cooked chicken, rotisserie chicken (optional, I keep mine vegetarian)
• Caramelized onions*
• Sun dried tomatoes
• Pepperoni

Cheeses:

• Mozarella
• Sharp cheddar
• Feta
• Parmesan

Directions:

Layer the above ingredients on flatbread (mix and match) and cook in a 400 degree oven for about 10 minutes.  (Alternatively, put under broiler on high for 3-5 minutes). Slice and serve! 

*Thinly slice onions and saute them in a skillet on med-low heat with a couple of pats of butter.  After about 15 minutes  when they’re nice and soft add a sprinkle of sugar (either brown or white) if you want to enhance the sweetness.  Continue cooking until they’re caramel colored.  It can take 20-30 minutes depending on the heat of your pan and the thickness of the onion.  You could make them ahead of time and just store them in the fridge.

Notes:

This is simple but tastes super yummy. It reminds me of a flat bread pizza place in Maine I used to go to in high school! I like to make a variety of different little flatbread pizzas. I do some traditional with red sauce, pepperoni, and mozarella or sharp cheddar for the boys. Then I mix and match the other above sauces and cheese and toppings for a variety of tastes. So yummy! The variety of different types is nice esp if you have people over. I also like to have extra sauce on the side for dipping!
