My family loves preparing our own flatbread pizza creations using the new flatbreads from Flatout. We used the Rustic White Flatbread and whipped up the most delicious personal-size homemade pizzas. I let the kids design their own pizza and pick their favorite toppings. Pepperoni and cheese is my son’s go-to combo and the inspiration for this easy pepperoni flatbread pizza recipe. This easy dinner is perfect for kids to make themselves and help them gain confidence in the kitchen.
The best thing about these flatbreads is that they cook very quickly and the kids absolutely LOVED them! They also have 5 grams of protein per serving. The added nutrition boost is a bonus. Regular pizza can be loaded with calories and short on protein. We whipped up a batch of our favorite homemade pizza sauce, but store-bought sauce is always a great time-saver when you need to keep things fast and simple.
Why you’ll love this recipe
- It’s a great option for weeknight dinners with quick prep and cook time
- Easy to customize with your favorite pizza toppings
- Fewer calories and higher protein than traditional pepperoni pizza
- Easy to fold up and eat like a homemade pizza pocket
Ingredients you’ll need
- Flatbread crust– I used the Flatout brand crust for this recipe, but feel free to go with your favorite thin flatbread, pita bread, or naan flatbread for this recipe and adjust the cooking time, as needed.
- Pizza sauce– I love this homemade pizza sauce recipe, but you can keep things simple and go with your favorite store-bought pizza sauce or marinara sauce here.
- Italian cheeses– This flatbread calls for a blend of buffalo and shredded fresh mozzarella cheese, and optional freshly grated Parmesan cheese for topping.
- Pepperoni- I love the large deli sliced pepperoni, but any pepperoni works great here. Turkey pepperoni is a good lean meat option to reduce fat and calories.
- Herbs and spices– Freshly chopped oregano and red pepper flakes for a flavor boost.
How to make flatbread pepperoni pizza
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Lightly spritz the pizza crust with olive oil spray and place it on a metal baking sheet, preheated pizza stone, or baking steel. Bake for 1-2 minutes for a crispier crust before adding the toppings.
- Remove the flatbread from the oven, add the toppings, and return the flatbread to the oven to cook for 5-8 minutes, or until the cheese melts.
- Garnish the top of the pizza with red pepper flakes and freshly grated parmesan cheese.
- *You can also cook it on the grill at 350 degrees F. Pre-grill the crust directly on the rack for 1-2 minutes, top with toppings, and return to the grill for another 4-5 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
Variations and toppings
More great toppings to add:
- Fresh basil
- Finely chopped green bell peppers
- Roasted red peppers
- Cooked Italian sausage or ground beef
- Finely chopped red onion
- Black olives
