    Pepperoni Flatbread Pizza

    Ingredients

    • Flatbread - This is a quick and easy alternative to making your own pizza crust. There are a lot of different brands that make pre-packaged flatbread. Stonefire is one of my favorites. You can usually find the flatbread by the regular bread, next to the tortillas, or in the deli. (more pizza recipes) For a low carb option, try my Fathead pizza crust, or my nut free keto pizza crust.
    • Pizza sauce - I used my homemade Paleo Pizza Sauce recipe for this, but feel free to use your favorite jarred sauce.
    • Mozzarella cheese - for this I used a pre-shredded mozzarella cheese, but it is also delicious with fresh sliced mozzarella

    Step-by-step Instructions

    STEP 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Place the flatbreads on a baking sheet and brush with olive oil. Sprinkle on the onion powder and garlic powder. Bake for 5 minutes or until the bread starts to brown just slightly.
    STEP 2: Remove from the oven and spread the pizza sauce across the bread in an even layer. 
    STEP 3: Top with mozzarella cheese and pepperoni and bake for 5 minutes, or until the pepperoni starts to get crispy and the cheese is nice and melted. 
    STEP 4: Top the flatbread pizzas with fresh basil and red pepper flakes, before serving.

    Recipe Tips and Variations

    • Storage info - Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
    • Make ahead - I like to make these in large batches and individually freeze them for later. I recommend freezing them unbaked.
    • Mix up the toppings - The great thing about this Pepperoni Flatbread Pizza is that it doesn't even have to be made with pepperoni at all. You can use any of your favorite pizza toppings.
    • Add garlic: Spread some delicious Garlic Confit on top of the crust before adding your sauce.
    • Switch up the sauce - I also like to make these with Garlic Parmesan Cream Sauce, Pesto Marinara Sauce, or even make a taco pizza with this Taco Sauce Recipe

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What kind of flatbread do you use for flatbread pizza?

    You can use any brand you prefer. Traditional flatbread is great, as is naan bread. If you want it extra thin, you can even use a tortilla.

    How do you make homemade pizza sauce?

    It is easier than you think. All you need is a can of tomato sauce or crushed tomatoes and herbs like oregano, basil, parsley, onion, garlic, salt and pepper. Here is my homemade pizza sauce recipe.

    How can I make this a low carb flatbread pizza recipe?

    For a low carb crust option, check out my Fathead Pizza Crust Recipe or my Nut Free Keto Pizza Crust Recipe.

    Description

    This quick and easy Pepperoni Flatbread Pizza recipe comes together in about 10 minutes, can be customized with any of your favorite pizza toppings and is the perfect kid-friendly dinner. How can you go wrong with crispy pepperoni, melty Mozzarella, homemade marinara sauce and fresh basil?


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • ½ teaspoon onion powder 
    • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
    • 2 flatbreads or Fathead pizza crust for low carb
    • ⅓ cup pizza sauce
    • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
    • ½ cup sliced pepperoni 
    • 5 fresh basil leaves, chiffonade 
    • pinch red pepper flakes, optional

    Instructions

    1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Place the flatbreads on a baking sheet and brush with olive oil. Sprinkle on the onion powder and garlic powder. Bake for 5 minutes or until the bread starts to brown just slightly.
    2. Remove from the oven and spread the sauce across the bread in an even layer. 
    3. Top with mozzarella cheese and pepperoni and bake for 5 minutes, or until the pepperoni starts to get crispy and the cheese is nice and melted. 
    4. Top with fresh basil and red pepper flakes, before serving. 

    Notes

    • For a crispier crust, add a couple minutes on to the pre-baking time. Alternatively, you can hit the pizzas on broil for 1 to 2 minutes after baking. 
    • I like to make these in large batches and individually freeze them for later. I recommend freezing them unbaked.
    • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

      I made this with turkey pepperoni and your fat head crust. I ate 2 small slices with salad and my husband ate the other 6 slices with salad. Lol, he usually doesn’t like anything with almond flour...he sure liked that pizza!

      So simple, but so delicious. I let my 5 year old daughter help me make them and she loved it. Way cheaper than delivery too.

      I just made a bunch of these and froze them for quick and easy reheats for my boys. I of course had to sneak a piece or two. DELICIOUS! and thanks for providing low carb options also.
