FAQs
How do I keep the flatbread from getting soggy?

Zucchini, bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes are classic, but you can use almost any vegetable you like.
Can I make this vegan?

Bake at a higher temperature for a few extra minutes and avoid excess toppings.
Is this dish suitable for meal prep?

Can I use homemade dough?
Absolutely, homemade dough gives great flavor and texture.
Should I add cheese before or after roasting?
Add cheese after the initial crisping of the crust so it melts nicely without burning.

Flatbread is best stored refrigerated, but you can freeze slices wrapped tightly and reheat in the oven.

Oregano, rosemary, thyme, or basil all work beautifully.
