# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Everything comes together in under half an hour, which means you can feed a crowd or yourself without any fuss.
  • The combination of smoky BBQ sauce, melted mozzarella, and sweet caramelized onions hits every craving at once.
  • You can use rotisserie chicken or whatever protein you have on hand, making it endlessly adaptable.
  • It bakes up crispy on the edges and gooey in the center, just like the best pizza but way easier.
02 -
  • Don't skip the parchment paper—I once tried using foil and everything stuck, making a mess of the cheese and the pan.
  • If your flatbreads are thicker, bake them for a few extra minutes or they'll stay doughy in the center.
  • Always taste your BBQ sauce before using it, because some are much sweeter or spicier than others and that changes the whole vibe.
03 -
  • Toast the flatbreads in the oven for two minutes before adding toppings if you want an extra-crispy base.
  • Use a pizza cutter to slice them quickly and cleanly while they're still hot.
  • Double the recipe and freeze the assembled, unbaked flatbreads for a future night when you need dinner in minutes.
