"I had some extra tomatoes that needed to be used up, so I thought it would be fun to make caprese flatbread pizzas! The flatbread dough is topped with pesto, fresh mozzarella, and sliced tomatoes before baking it to perfection. It’s a truly delicious combination."

Recipe Card
ingredients
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup warm water, between 100-110 degrees
- 2 cups bread flour, plus more for working with the dough
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup pesto
- 16 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into 1/4 inch slices
- 3 medium tomatoes, cut into 1/4 inch slices
Method
Step 1
Place yeast and sugar in a large bowl. Top with warm water and stir. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let sit for 5 minutes.
Step 2
Add in the bread flour, salt, garlic powder and olive oil. Stir together until a rough dough forms and then turn out onto a floured surface. Knead for 5 minutes – or until the dough is smooth.
Step 3
Place into a lightly greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise for 45 minutes, at room temperature.
Step 4
Once it has risen, preheat your oven to 475 degrees. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside. Divide dough in half and place on a floured surface. Roll out each flatbread until roughly ¼ inch thick and place them on your prepared pan.
Step 5
Spread half of the pesto on each pizza, and top with fresh mozzarella and tomato slices.
Step 6
Place into the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. Remove and allow to cool for a bit before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
