Classic Flatbread Pizza Recipes
What’s the Difference Between Flatbread Pizza and Regular Pizza?
Flatbread can be made with or without yeast.
The regular pizza dough bakes into a thick, chewy, and soft-centered bed for your favorite toppings. Flatbread pizza is just that– flatter pizza. Since it’s flatter, it doesn’t require as much yeast or rise time.
