Ingredients

  • 3 medium heirloom tomatoes
  • 4 pieces naan or your favorite flatbread
  • salt & pepper, to taste
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • pizza sauce See Note
  • one 8 ounce container of fresh mozzarella balls (often called Ciliegine on the container)
  • few handfuls fresh basil

Instructions

  • Prep your Tomatoes: Slice your tomatoes thinly, and place on a large cutting board. Blot with paper towels to remove most of the moisture. This prevents your flatbreads from getting soggy. Season with sea salt and pepper, and garlic.
  • Preheat your Oven: Place a pizza stone in your cold oven, then preheat it to 450° F.
  • Assemble Flatbreads: Build your flatbreads on a separate baking sheet. Brush the top of the flatbread with a light layer of olive oil, then add a few tablespoons of sauce and brush evenly over the flatbread, leaving a bit of a border. Place a few slices of tomato on each, and top with fresh mozzarella.
  • Bake: Transfer the pizzas to the preheated pizza stone in the oven, and bake for 6-10 minutes. The cheese will be melted and the crusts should be nice and crisp.
  • Serve + Store: Serve immediately, while hot from the oven, with fresh basil. These flatbreads are best eaten fresh from the oven.

Notes

Note: To make your own homemade pizza sauce, use a small can of tomato sauce and add Italian seasoning to taste. I used parsley, oregano, basil, and garlic powder.
