  • Watch the flatbreads closely in the last few minutes, they can go from perfectly crisp to overdone fast.
03 -
  • Use parchment paper instead of greasing the pan, it prevents sticking and makes cleanup almost effortless.
  • If you want extra crispy edges, bake the flatbreads for 2 minutes before adding toppings to set the base.
