Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 4 flatbreads Prepared Flatbreads Use store-bought for quick assembly or homemade for a personal touch.
For the Cheese Mixture
  • 1 cup Whole-Milk Ricotta Cheese Adds creaminess; part-skim ricotta works for a lighter option.
  • 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese Provides meltiness; can swap for provolone or non-dairy options for a vegan pizza.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Cloves Infuses aroma and depth; garlic powder is a quick substitute if fresh isn't on hand.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Enhances overall flavor; sea salt recommended.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper Gives a hint of spiciness; freshly cracked enhances taste.
For the Toppings
  • 1/2 cup Pesto Delivers a fresh, herby taste; feel free to use homemade or a spinach-basil blend.
  • 2 medium Roma Tomatoes Offers a fresh and juicy texture; cherry tomatoes work just as well.
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Basil Can substitute with arugula or spinach for a distinctive twist.
