I’m always up for a good flatbread pizza. Usually that means a store-bought crust, a tomato-based sauce, cheese and traditional pizza toppings. Like Italian sausage. Or pepperoni. You know, the ‘regular’ things. This time I stepped out of my comfort zone and made a spicy Italian flatbread pizza. It was different (for me) and absolutely delicious. I loved the change from my ‘usual’ and would definitely make this again. And again.
Salami Is Good
I used a genoa salami for my spicy Italian flatbread pizza. You don’t want a hard salami. You want one that is more pepperoni-like. Great flavor but not hard to chew if you know what I mean. You don’t have to get the expensive stuff either. Sandwich meat salami is perfect.
The Crunchier The Better
I like my flatbread pizzas to be crunchy. That’s a big reason I like them so much. It’s easy to get them nice and crunchy, too. I like to pre-bake my crust a few minutes to get the crunchy going. Then I add my toppings and continue baking it until nicely golden brown.
Also try my garlic Parmesan pizza rolls.
