For best flavor, use high-quality canned plum tomatoes. San Marzano tomatoes are an excellent choice. Don't overload the flatbread with sauce and toppings, as this can make it soggy. A light touch is key. If you prefer a crispier crust, you can bake the flatbread directly on the oven rack. Be sure to watch it closely to prevent burning. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese is a delicious addition to this pizza.

Jul 1, 2025I didn't have fresh basil, so I used dried basil. It was still good, but I'll definitely use fresh next time.
