# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together faster than ordering takeout and tastes better too.
  • The crispy edges and gooey center make every bite feel indulgent without any fuss.
  • You can prep everything ahead and just bake when guests arrive.
  • Leftovers reheat beautifully in a hot skillet for next-day lunch.
02 -
  • Don't skip the olive oil brush—it's the difference between crispy and cardboard.
  • If your flatbreads are thin, check them at 10 minutes to avoid burning the edges.
  • Let the flatbread cool for one minute before slicing or the toppings will slide right off.
03 -
  • Use rotisserie chicken and pre-shredded cheese to cut your prep time in half.
  • Add a pinch of smoked paprika to the chicken for an extra layer of flavor.
  • Bake on the middle rack so the cheese melts evenly without burning the bottom.
