What is flatbread pizza
Flatbread pizza is thin crust pizza. Flatbread dough is rolled out to be much thinner, and therefore has a thin crust. Due to the thin crust, flatbread is crispy, whereas pizza is chewy.
Since flatbread has a crispy crust, people usually put different toppings on it than pizza, because it’s more of an appetizer. Usual toppings for flatbread include pesto, sundried tomatoes, BBQ chicken, pineapple, onions, arugula, balsamic vinegar, etc.
How long is flatbread good for
Flatbread dough is good for up to 2 days in the fridge. Cooked flatbread is good for 3-4 days in the fridge.
Combine yeast, sugar and warm water in a large mixing bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes to active the yeast.
Add flour, olive oil, and salt to the mixing bowl. Mix with a fork or wooden spoon until it has started to come together. Turn onto a floured flat surface and knead the dough for a couple of minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough back into the mixing bowl and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Let the dough rise for 45 min – 1 hour.
Cut the dough in half and roll out the dough. You should have 2 flatbreads to work with. The dough should be rolled quite thin for flatbread.
At this point you can add any toppings to the flatbread. It is recommended that you brush the flatbread with a bit of olive oil before adding your pizza sauce.
Bake the flatbread at 450 degrees F for 12-20 minutes. The flatbread edges will be light-golden brown, and the cheese will start browning when it's ready to come out of the oven.
Vegetarian pesto flatbread recipe is best made with fresh pesto. The secret to making a good pesto flatbread is adding more fresh pesto to the flatbread once it has come out of the oven.
Pesto is absorbed into the flatbread as it cooks, so the flatbread is a bit dry when it comes out of the oven.
Adding more fresh pesto the flatbread once it comes out of the oven adds back the sauce and moisture. The flatbread is the perfect combination of thin crust, and it is packed with flavor. You will love the sundried tomatoes and pesto together.
We recommend using fresh mozzarella for your pesto flatbread recipe. Fresh mozzarella is more flavorful and browns very well in the oven.
We have included a few pictures to see the difference between regular mozzarella vs fresh mozzarella for this flatbread recipe.

Add flour, olive oil, and salt to the mixing bowl. Mix with a fork or wooden spoon until it has started to come together. Turn onto a floured flat surface and knead the dough for a couple of minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough back into the mixing bowl and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Let the dough rise for 45 min – 1 hour.
Flatbread Toppings
Cut the dough in half and roll out the dough. You should have 2 flatbreads to work with.
Add 2 tbsp of pesto to each of the doughs. Using the back of a spoon, spread the pesto to create a thin layer of pesto as the "pizza sauce".
Add 8 slices of mozzarella around the dough. Do not overlap the cheese, it should have some space in between each of the cheese slices.
Add the sundried tomatoes around the flatbreads. Put them on the pesto, not on the cheese slices.
Bake the flatbread at 450 degrees F for 7-12 minutes. The flatbread edges will be light-golden brown, and the cheese will start browning when it's ready to come out of the oven.
Remove the flatbread from the oven and place it on a wooden cutting board.
Using a spoon, spoon the pesto onto the flatbread. While it's still warm, the pesto will melt into the pizza. This is a crucial step, and cannot be missed. Having the extra fresh pesto on the flatbread will make the pesto have more sauce, and will prevent it from being dry. Fresh pesto adds a ton of flavor to flatbread.

Drain excess oil off of the frying pan.
Add tomato sauce to the meat mixture. Cut an onion in half, and add this to the sauce. The onion will release its flavors into the sauce, making it very tasty.

At the end of cooking the meat sauce in the last minute, add the strips of fresh basil to the sauce.
Remove the meat sauce from the heat source and set aside.
If you are using fresh spinach, cook it in a large frying pan over medium heat until it has wilted down. It should take about 10 minutes. Remove all water from the spinach by squishing it when it has cooled down. Use a paper towel around the spinach to draw out more water from the spinach. If you are thawing spinach from frozen, place it in the microwave for 30 second intervals until it has fully thawed. Remove the water from the spinach.
In a medium bowl, combine ricotta, egg, 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, spinach, and 1 tsp Italian seasoning. Mix together until fully combined.
In a 9 x 13 baking pan or casserole dish that has high sides, place meat sauce on the bottom of the pan until it's fully covered (about half of the meat sauce). Add lasagna noodles lengthwise to the baking pan. Make adjustments as needed by breaking apart the noodles to fully cover the meat sauce.
Add the next layer on top of the meat sauce/lasagna noddle's by adding 1/2 of the ricotta mixture. Spread the ricotta mixture so it's one layer that goes right to the edges. Add another layer of lasagna noodles.

Let the lasagna sit for 10 minutes before cutting into. It will be very hot, and needs to cool down before eating.
