- Serve: Remove from the oven, cut into squares, and serve hot. It's perfect on its own or paired with deli meats, cheeses, or grilled vegetables for a vegetarian option.
Notes
Air Fryer Option: You can also cook the flatbread in an air fryer at 350°F for about 20 minutes. Make half the recipe to ensure it fits and cooks evenly.
Storage: Store leftovers in the refrigerator if it’s warm, or at room temperature if cool. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness, as microwaving can make it soggy.
