What Bread To Use For Flatbread
For this recipe, I used naan as my flatbread base, but you could also try using pita bread instead. I find these pre-made flatbreads the quickest and easiest to use.
If you’re feeling up to it, you could even make your own flatbread from scratch! Similarly, you could use a store-bought pizza dough (just roll it a little thinner and in an oval shape).
Tips For Making This Flatbread Recipe
- I found the easiest way to spread the goat cheese onto the flatbread was to use my fingers to physically press it down, as opposed to using a knife.
- Be sure to leave about a 1/2-inch edge along the outside of the flatbread to create a crust. This will make it easier and less messy to serve and hold!
- Keep an eye on the flatbread when it’s in the oven to avoid any burning.
- Add the arugula on top of the flatbread AFTER you take it out of the oven, not before placing it in.
Is Flatbread Healthy?
Flatbread pizzas like this recipe can be a fun, delicious way to get in a number of veggies! I love them for an easy appetizer idea or a Friday night dinner at home.
This mediterranean flatbread is topped with nutritious ingredients like bell peppers, arugula, and olives – and you can add even more veggies if you’d like.
When choosing what flatbread to use, try to look for ones that have a shorter ingredient list. I try to buy mine from health food stores, like Whole Foods if I can!
