Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 whole wheat flatbreads
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup bell peppers, sliced
- 1/4 cup olives, sliced
- Italian seasoning to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Place the whole wheat flatbreads on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spread out evenly and not overlapping.
- Using the back of a spoon, spread marinara sauce evenly across each flatbread, leaving a small border around the edges to create a light crust.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese uniformly over the marinara sauce, covering the surface but not overloading the flatbread.
- Distribute sliced bell peppers and olives across the cheese layer, ensuring even coverage for balanced flavor in each bite.
- Gently dust the topped flatbreads with Italian seasoning, which will enhance the overall taste profile.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and the edges of the flatbread turn golden and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes to allow the cheese to set slightly.
- Slice each flatbread pizza in half or quarters, and serve immediately while hot and crisp.
Tips
- Choose high-quality whole wheat flatbreads for the best texture and nutrition.
- Don't overload your pizza with toppings - moderation is key for maintaining low calories.
- Use marinara sauce sparingly to control the overall calorie count.
- Opt for part-skim mozzarella to reduce fat while keeping that classic cheesy flavor.
- Experiment with different vegetable toppings to add nutrition and variety.
- Ensure your oven is fully preheated for a crispy crust.
- Let the pizza rest for a few minutes after baking to allow the cheese to set and make cutting easier.
