Like I said above, I love a pizza (especially on a Saturday) as much as the next person.
But, if I've been cooking, photographing and writing for the blog all day, then I just want something easy I can put in the oven.

Cirio sent me some free samples of their amazing pizzassimo pizza sauce, which is just perfect for the full flavoured tasty tomato sauce base, which I what I used here.

There's so many reasons to make this healthy flatbread pizza recipe. Here's some reasons why.....
Why This 30 Minutes Easy Flatbread Pizza Recipe is a Healthy Flatbread Pizza Recipe!
- It's a healthy flatbread pizza because it's a low calorie flatbread pizza compared to a standard shop bought / restaurant pizza.
- You don't need many ingredients and it's easy to shape it.
- The flatbread dough requires no time to prove, unlike standard pizza dough. So it's quicker to make.
- It's got a much thinner tastier and healthier base than a normal pizza.

What's The Difference Between This Easy Flatbread Pizza And A Normal Pizza?
The main difference is in the amount of yeast used. You can make flatbread without yeast if you want to.
My flatbread pizza dough uses only a very small amount of yeast just so it rises a little. I like it to resemble a thin crust pizza!
How To Make Easy Flatbread Pizza Dough
- Place all of the flatbread dough ingredients into a bowl. Mix ingredients either by hand or with a mixer for about 5 minutes to form a dough.
- On a floured surface, using a rolling pin roll out the dough as thinly as possible.
- Dry cook (use no oil) each flat bread in a heated skillet / frying pan for approximately 2 minutes on both sides.
- Once cooked your flatbread pizza dough is ready to go onto baking trays to be covered with sauce and toppings, then baked!

I always used to make myself personal pizzas on a large GF tortilla (the ultimate flatbread, hahaha!) I have in a long long time! I haven't had pizza in a while actually :O SAD!
Also SAD that it's August! NOOOO!
neil@neilshealthymeals.com
I agree with you though Rebecca. Tortilla's are also a great and quick way to make pizzas!
As for it being August, yeah, I have no idea where the time has gone.
Susie @ Suzlyfe
I'm all about flatbread pizzas. I actually prefer them that way! Especially if they get nice and crispy underneath... mmmmmmm now I'm hungry dammit
neil@neilshealthymeals.com
And this one DOES get nice and crispy.
In fact it's sooooo delicious. The base makes it. I hardly put any cheese on it, simply because the base is so tasty! 🙂
