Ingredients

4 flatbreads pita breads
⅔ cup pizza sauce
2 cups fresh mozzarella cheese sliced
2 cups cherry tomatoes or 3 large tomatoes
1 teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
1 bunch fresh basil

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the flatbread (pita bread) on the baking sheet.
Then top it with pizza sauce, slices mozzarella cheese, and tomatoes.
Sprinkle over dried basil and red pepper flakes.
Bake at 425°F for about 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and starts to bubble.
Take the pizzas out of the oven, top with fresh basil leaves and serve.

Notes

I like to line a baking sheet with parchment pepper, so when the cheese melts and leaks, it won’t stick to the baking pan and will be easier to clean.
Preheat the oven ahead of time. The pizza will cook much faster and the cheese will melt better in the preheated oven.
If your tomatoes are very juicy, you can pat dry them with paper towel to absorb extra liquid, so the pizza won’t come out soggy.
