Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 piece flatbread (such as naan or pita)
Cheeses
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (Galbani preferred for melting)
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
Vegetables
- 1/2 cup torn fresh spinach (roughly chopped into bite-sized pieces)
- 1/2 cup sliced red onion (about 1/4-inch thick slices)
- 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced (about 1/8-inch pieces)
Seasonings & Oils
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/8 tsp ground black pepper
- Extra virgin olive oil for drizzling (or a mild neutral oil like canola, avocado, or grape seed oil)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Mise en Place and Preheat: Preheat your oven to 450°F with a baking sheet or pizza stone inside. Alternatively, preheat your air fryer to 400°F. While heating, slice the garlic thinly, slice the red onion, tear the spinach into bite-sized pieces, and crumble the feta cheese.
- Assemble the Flatbread Pizza: Place the flatbread on parchment paper or directly on the preheated stone/baking sheet. Spread the shredded mozzarella evenly over the flatbread to create a protective base layer. Then scatter the sliced garlic, red onion, and spinach on top. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the pizza. Season with garlic powder, black pepper, and sea salt evenly across the surface to enhance flavors.
- Bake Until Cheese Melts and Edges Turn Golden: Transfer the pizza to the oven or air fryer. Bake in a conventional oven at 450°F for 10-12 minutes or air fry at 400°F for 4-5 minutes. The pizza is ready when the mozzarella is bubbling and melted, feta softens slightly, spinach wilts, and flatbread edges turn golden brown. Monitor closely near the end to avoid burning.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the flatbread pizza and let it cool for 1-2 minutes to prevent toppings from sliding. Drizzle lightly with extra virgin olive oil for richness and flavor balance. Slice into wedges and serve immediately while cheese is warm and creamy.
Notes
- Pre-bake your flatbread for 3-4 minutes before adding toppings to avoid soggy crust.
- Use a light hand with toppings to prevent heavy, soggy results—especially with water-rich ingredients like spinach.
- Layer mozzarella first as a barrier between bread and wetter toppings for better texture.
- Customize toppings by substituting flatbreads (naan, pita, lavash), cheeses (provolone, Monterey Jack, goat cheese, ricotta), or greens (arugula, kale).
- Store leftovers in an airtight container with parchment paper between slices and refrigerate up to 3 days.
- Reheat in a preheated 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes to retain crispiness instead of using a microwave.
