slices of flat bread pizza with beer

Usually if I see any kind of flat bread on a menu, I’ll be tempted to order it. It’s like a baby pizza that won’t ruin your appetite for the main course! And they’re so easy to make at home. You can definitely go all out and make your dough from scratch but keeping things simple and buying your favorite pizza dough means you have more time to relax and enjoy the results.

Tips for making this easy flat bread pizza

  • Let your pizza dough rest at room temperature for an hour if you can. This will relax the gluten and make it easier to roll out.
  • Have some flour on hand to prevent your dough sticking to the work surface and to your rolling pin.
  • Quickly sauté the mushrooms before adding them to the flat bread. If you add them raw, they won't have the same delicious flavor that you get from seared Crimini mushrooms.
  • A hot oven is a must when cooking pizza so it cooks fast and creates that chewy, crispy crust.
