Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
• 1 flatbread (plain or garlic naan)
• about 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• ½ cup fresh spinach, torn
• ½ cup crumbled (or grated) feta cheese
• some red onion, sliced
• a few garlic slices
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
• a pinch of black pepper
• a pinch of coarse sea salt (added after baking)

Directions
-
Preheat the oven (with a pizza stone or baking sheet inside) to about 230 °C (approximately 450 °F).
-
Lay the flatbread on the preheated baking sheet. Spread the shredded mozzarella evenly over the flatbread, then sprinkle with garlic powder and black pepper.

Bake for about 10–12 minutes — until the mozzarella is melted and the edges of the flatbread are crisp and golden.

Remove from the oven, drizzle lightly with extra virgin olive oil, and sprinkle with a pinch of coarse sea salt. Slice and serve hot.

Storage/Reheating
This flatbread pizza is best served fresh while the crust is crisp and cheese is melted. If storing leftovers, place them in an airtight container in the fridge. To reheat, use a preheated oven at 180–200 °C (350–400 °F) until warmed through. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the crust soggy.
