This is pizza night for the nights when there is no dough in the house. Naan or any sturdy flatbread crisps beautifully in a hot oven, and a jar of pesto does the rest.

Serve it as

  • A light dinner with a green salad, one flatbread per person.
  • An easy appetizer, cut into strips.
  • Lunch the next day, reheated in a dry skillet to keep the base crisp.

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 425°F. Put the flatbreads directly on a baking sheet.

  2. Spread each flatbread with pesto, then top with mozzarella and tomatoes, cut side up. Drizzle with olive oil.

  3. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the cheese has melted and the edges are crisp.

  4. Finish with basil, salt, pepper and a drizzle of balsamic glaze if you like.
