# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together faster than waiting for delivery and tastes twice as good.
  • The crispy edges and gooey center create the perfect texture contrast in every bite.
  • You can clean out your fridge and still end up with something that looks impressive.
  • Kids and adults both reach for seconds without any convincing needed.
02 -
  • Don't skip the oil on the flatbread or it will turn out pale and chewy instead of crispy and golden.
  • If you pile the toppings too high, the center stays soggy, so keep it balanced and spread things out.
  • Let the flatbread cool for just a minute before slicing or the cheese will slide right off in a molten mess.
03 -
  • Use a pizza cutter to slice the flatbread cleanly without dragging all the toppings around.
  • If your flatbreads are thicker, pre-bake them for 3 minutes before adding toppings so they crisp up properly.
  • Always keep extra BBQ sauce on the side for people who like things saucier, it makes everyone happy.
