Grilled Summer Flatbread Pizzas

Grilled flatbread pizzas are a delicious and easy way to enjoy pizza in the summertime without having to prep dough indoors. Flatbread is the perfect substitute for traditional pizza dough. I personally always prefer a thinner crust, especially when its super hot out and when I want lighter meals.

To make the pizzas, I rubbed a bit of olive oil and salt on the flatbread and then topped them with fresh mozzarella slices, cherry tomatoes, grilled corn, and then topped them with a big pile of fresh arugula tossed in a light and lemony dressing.

These pizzas a fresh and simple and a great base to add other toppings. Grilled chicken would be a great way to make them a bit heartier. You could also add crumbled bacon. Other veggies would also be good like sliced avocados.

Since the flatbread is already cooked, the pizzas do not require a lot of cooking time, just enough to crisp up the flatbread and melt the cheese so whatever toppings you want to add, I recommend choosing ones that do not “require” cooking. I grilled the corn before adding to this pizza.

Recipe Tips and Suggestions:

• You can use either flatbread or naan bread for this recipe. I’ve used both and either works well!
• I grilled the corn to cook it before adding to the pizza by brushing some oil and salt around the corn and grilling for a couple of minutes on each side. Let cool for a few minutes and then shave the corn off the cob with a knife.
• Before adding toppings to the flatbread, you will need to grill it first. Brush olive oil and salt on each side and grill until warm and toasted. Remove from the grill and have all your toppings ready to go to assemble. Stick back on the grill for a couple of minutes just until the cheese is melted and it’s ready!
• I topped my pizza with a big pile of fresh arugula that I tossed in a bit of olive oil and fresh lemon juice.
• This recipe is super easy to make in larger batches and can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature which makes it great for parties!
• Serve as an appetizer or as a light lunch or dinner.
• Feel free to add heartier toppings like grilled chicken if you want to make these more of a meal.
