What You Need For This Recipe

To make this recipe you need a limited number of ingredients. Make certain you have the following ready:

Flatbread – I used one of my favorite flatbreads Gyro bread
Cheese – fresh mozzarella cheese
Tomato – thinly slice
Garlic – mince fresh garlic
Parsley – use dried parsley
Tomato sauce – you can use pizza sauce or frito tomato sauce
Olive oil
Salt and Pepper – season to taste

Note that the full ingredients list, including measurements, can be found in the recipe card below.

How To Make Margherita Flatbread Pizza

Start this recipe by preheating your oven to 350°F/175℃. Finely chop the garlic and mix with the olive oil into garlic oil. Brush the flatbreads with garlic oil mixture and put the flatbreads in the oven for about 5 minutes.
Take the flatbreads out of the oven. First, add a couple of tablespoons of tomato sauce then add 3 slices of mozzarella cheese on top of the flatbread.
Season with salt and pepper before adding thinly sliced tomatoes on top.
Put the flatbreads back in the oven for another 5 minutes. Then turn the oven to broil and bake for an extra 2-3 minutes on broil or until these are melted and golden brown.
Sprinkle with some dried or fresh minced parsley and serve immediately.

Fast Pizza Recipe

If you are looking for a fast pizza recipe then this recipe is for you. That is why we use gyro bread. Gyro flatbread is such a versatile dish.

You can eat and serve it in many different ways:

Bread – you can eat it as a bread.
Shawarma – you can wrap it around chicken shawarma.
Greek gyros – eat it with gyros meat.
Naan – if you do not have any naan bread no worries the gyro bread can serve perfectly as naan for your chicken curry

But you can easily turn it into a pizza. The main reason is that these flatbreads are thicker than regular flatbreads or tortillas. That is what you need in a pizza especially when you have tomato sauce and lots of cheese.
