Easy Flatbread Pizza Recipe 

Do you ever feel like you should have a salad but in reality feel like pizza? This flatbread is the answer. It’s part kale salad thanks to the wilted kale that’s been sautéed with zucchini, red onions, garlic, and drizzled with balsamic vinegar for a snappy punch of flavor. And it’s part pizza with plenty of gooey fontina cheese. If you’ve never tried fontina, it’s silky smooth, melts like a dream, and I like to think of it as mozzarella’s fancier cousin. The flatbread is topped with thinly sliced prosciutto, which I think elevates this recipe from the pizza category and into the flatbread category.

The crust is a bit crispy around the edges but softer in the middle. It’s seasoned with dried rosemary which adds an incredible amount of flavor and shouldn’t be skipped. The veggies add texture and help me feel like I’m eating something a little bit healthier than your average pizza. The fontina is a cheese lover’s dream and the prosciutto adds a salty, savory dimension that feels so much more luxurious than pepperoni or sausage.

Difference Between Pizza And Flatbread

Flatbread to me is something a little fancier than pizza and something you’d see on the menu of a hip restaurant. It’s not necessarily covered with melted cheese like you’d find on pizza. And the crusts on either pizza or flatbread can vary wildly. But that’s just my personal opinion of course.

What’s in Prosciutto Flatbread Pizza? 

To make this store-bought flatbread pizza recipe, you’ll need: 

Pizza dough Olive oil Dried rosemary Red onion Zucchini  Kale Garlic Balsamic vinegar Fontina cheese Prosciutto 

How to Make Prosciutto Flatbread Pizza

Making flatbread pizza is so easy! Simply roll out the dough into a large rectangle, then rub with olive oil and sprinkle with rosemary.  Bake the crust on its own until it’s lightly golden in color. While it bakes, saute the kale, onion, zucchini, and garlic just until the veggies soften. Stir in the balsamic, and let it cook down a bit to reduce.  Pull the pre-baked crust from the oven, pile high with veggies, sprinkle with cheese, and bake just until the cheese melts.  Lay the prosciutto on top and dig in! 

How to Make Flatbread Pizza Crispy

To make the flatbread pizza crispy, I rubbed it with olive oil and baked it on its own until golden before adding the toppings. Using a pizza stone would also help crisp up the crust, I imagine. 

Can I Use Homemade Pizza Dough? 

Of course! If you want to make scratch dough, I have an easy recipe for one hour pizza dough but if you’re not in the mood, buy fresh store bought pizza dough. Or, make a two-ingredient pizza dough using Bisquick! 

Tips for Making Flatbread Pizza

If you can’t find fontina, gouda or mozzarella are okay substitutes. The dough does not need to be rolled out perfectly. Embrace some imperfect edges and a rustic vibe. Makes like so much easier. I got everything I needed to make this recipe from Trader Joe’s — fresh dough, red onion, kale in a bag, balsamic, fontina, prosciutto — one stop shopping and done. Not sponsored by them, just mentioning it for convenience.
