What You’ll Need
Ingredient Notes
- Naan flatbread– These flatbreads are thin, but still thick enough to give your pizza some chew. Using pre-made naan makes this recipe nice and easy, but you can use homemade dough, too, if you like.
- Ranch dressing– This adds great tanginess to the sauce.
- Garlic clove– Fresh garlic is best. It adds a yummy pungent flavor to the sauce.
- Greek yogurt– Thick, creamy, and tangy, this makes the sauce extra tasty.
- Ricotta cheese– This makes the cheese creamy and a little sweet.
- Mozzarella cheese– This fresh cheese is perfect for a gooey topping on your pizza once it melts.
- Baby Bella mushrooms- These have a “meaty” and earthy flavor that’s perfect for a vegetarian pizza.
- Arugula leaves– Slightly bitter, peppery, and a tad spicy, these leaves are a nice addition. They wilt a little when cooked and have a taste similar to spinach.
Add-ins and Substitutions
- Substitute a different cheese– You can make this with goat cheese, jack cheese, muenster cheese, provolone, parmesan cheese, or any cheese you like.
- Try different toppings- If you prefer other toppings, try chopped bell peppers, onions, or sundried tomatoes.
- Add in meat- You can add meat to this vegetarian pizza if you prefer, such as diced chicken, pepperoni, or sausage.
- Substitute the dressing- If you prefer something more traditional, you can go with a marinara sauce or maybe barbecue.
How to Make Mushroom Arugula Flatbread Pizza
- Make the sauce. Combine the ranch, Greek yogurt, and pressed garlic clove in a small bowl.
- Smear it on the crust. Spread the dressing evenly across the two naan flatbreads.
- Add the cheese to the flatbreads. Now shred the fresh mozzarella cheese and distribute it between the two flatbreads. Then dollop the ricotta cheese on top as well.
- Top with the vegetables. Sprinkle the sliced baby Bella mushrooms and fresh arugula on top.
- Bake. Bake the pizza at 370 degrees for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted. Remove it from the oven, slice, and serve.
Pro Tip: Use a spoon to drop dollops of ricotta on the flatbreads. They will melt and spread in the oven.
Recipe Tips
- Use premade flatbreads- This saves a lot of time and makes this a really quick recipe to make.
- Fresh mozzarella is best- Fresh mozzarella melts so much better than shredded cheese and you’ll love the flavor.
- Slice the mushrooms evenly- Make sure the mushrooms are similarly sized so they cook at the same rate.
FAQs
The main difference between pizza dough and flatbread is the yeast and rising of the dough. Flatbread has unleavened dough and does not rise, giving it a crusty, crumbly texture. Pizza dough is made with yeast and is allowed to rise, giving it a chewier texture.
If your flatbread pizza has come out of the oven, place it on a cooling rack to allow the steam to escape from the bottom. Otherwise, thee steam gets trapped between the pizza and the pan, making it soggy.
