How to Make It

Alright, take a deep breath with me. You don’t need to be a culinary expert here. Grab your flatbread, lay it out like a canvas, and start adding all the good stuff. You might spill a little sauce — happens to the best of us! Layer on your toppings, sprinkle some cheese if you’re feeling cheesy (pun totally intended), and pop that bad boy in the oven. Set a timer because let’s be real, you’ll get distracted thinking about that show you’re halfway through. Done? Pull it out, give it a little cool-down pat, and dig in.

Ingredient Notes

– **Flatbread**: This is your trusty base. Sometimes I make mine from scratch, but the store-bought stuff works like a charm.
– **Tomato Sauce**: A classic base, but don’t be afraid to branch out with a little pesto or even a white sauce. I’ve used salsa once — chaos, but delicious!
– **Cheese**: Mozzarella, cheddar, really whatever’s in your fridge. Avoid the one time I tried feta — interesting but do it sparingly.

Recipe Steps: You must fill the “Recipe Steps” section with a clear, step-by-step version of the instructions. Do not leave it empty. Summarize the main actions from the ‘How to Make It’ section in concise steps. Each step should start with a verb and follow a numbered format.

1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. Place flatbreads on a baking sheet.
3. Spread sauce over each flatbread.
4. Add your choice of toppings generously.
5. Sprinkle cheese on top.
6. Bake for 12-15 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
7. Let it cool a bit before slicing.

What to Serve It With

Tips & Mistakes

1. **Tips for topping party**: Go wild! Pineapple haters, my door is open. Let’s change your mind.
2. **Messy slip-ups**: Once I forgot to pre-bake. Result = soggy bottom. We still ate it, but avoid my mistake.

Storage Tips

Honestly, leftover flatbread means cold pizza vibes, which I am all about. Wrap it up and stick it in the fridge for up to 3 days. Eating it cold? Yep, breakfast is served. Extra points if you sneak some before your morning coffee.

Variations and Substitutions

Switch it up, my friends. No sauce? Olive oil and garlic it is. Vegan? Forget the cheese or use a plant-based version. No veggies? Dig into your pantry for canned corn or olives. Let’s be real: I’ve skipped things before — still turned out great.
