Ingredients and substitutions

Pizza dough – store bought pizza dough will be the easiest to use in this recipe. If you enjoy making your own pizza dough, feel free to do so. And if you're gluten intolerant or looking for a low-carb meal, use cauliflower crust instead.
Olive oil – any neutral oil like sunflower oil, avocado oil and grapeseed oil can work in this recipe.
Garlic – use fresh garlic or jarred minced garlic.
Portobello mushrooms – if you can’t find portobello mushrooms, you can also use brown or white crimini mushrooms, white or brown button mushrooms or shiitake mushrooms.
Zucchini – yellow squash would pair nicely with this recipe or you can leave this out altogether.
Sundried tomato – roasted red pepper would be a good replacement.
Red onion – white onion, yellow onion or shallots can be used instead of red onion.
Yellow pepper – use another bell pepper colour of your choice. Opt for either red or orange bell peppers first as they have a sweetness similar to yellow bell peppers.
Salt & pepper – to taste.
Ricotta cheese – goat cheese, feta cheese or cottage cheese would all be yummy.
Basil – to garnish.
Rosemary – to garnish.
Parmesan cheese – try nutritional yeast or leave this out altogether.
Mozzarella cheese – fresh pizza mozzarella will melt the best but you can use any cheese of your choice like goat cheese or leave out altogether.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is flatbread pizza?

Flatbread pizza typically has a thinner and crispier crust with more creative toppings. It also usually doesn’t have the same traditional tomato sauce base as a regular pizza.

How many carbs are in this recipe?

This recipe has 54 grams of carbs per serving. If you want to reduce the carb count even more, you can typically find low-carb flatbread options at the health food store or make your own low-carb flatbread.

Is flatbread pizza better for you than regular pizza?

This flatbread is definitely better for you than your typical double-cheese, double-pepperoni order from the pizza place down the street. Flatbread also tends to be healthier as it doesn’t have a saucy base and has lots of fresh veggies on top.

Storing and reheating

You can store any leftover flatbread in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight glass container. The best way to reheat them is to place them on a baking sheet in the oven at 350°F until they are warmed all the way through. You can reheat them in a microwave for 2-3 minutes, but the crust will likely be soggy.

Freezing this recipe

This dish is definitely freezer friendly! Flatbreads freeze really well – all you have to do is assemble your flatbread as instructed and then place them in the freezer instead of the oven! Once you've placed your flatbread in the freezer it will last for up to two months. Talk about an easy, last minute dinner idea!

If you plan on freezing your flatbread, make sure to wrap it in plastic wrap or in a freezer bag (toppings side up, of course) and then store it in the freezer. When you're ready to enjoy your dish, remove the plastic wrap and pop the flatbread into the oven directly from the freezer. Keep your flatbread in the oven 12-15 minutes until the cheese has melted.
