Ingredients
  

For the Flatbread
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour You can substitute whole wheat flour for a healthier option.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup warm water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
For the Toppings
  • 1 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Optional: pepperoni, vegetables (like bell peppers and onions), or your favorite protein
  • Fresh basil or arugula for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Gradually add the warm water and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  4. If the dough feels too sticky, sprinkle in some extra flour as needed.
Cooking the Flatbread
  1. Divide the dough into two equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin rectangle or circle, about 1/4 inch thick.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook each flatbread for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  3. Alternatively, bake them in the oven at 425°F (220°C) for 5-7 minutes for a crispier texture.
Topping and Baking
  1. Spread a generous amount of sauce on top of each flatbread.
  2. Add a layer of shredded mozzarella and your desired toppings.
  3. Return the pizzas to the oven or skillet, cooking until the cheese is melted and bubbly, approximately 5-10 minutes.

Notes
