Promptly store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator, for up to 3 days.

Nutritional values are approximate and based on ¼ of a flatbread.

Note: for a crisper crust, cook the flatbread on a pizza screen.

Serving Suggestions: For a simple but delicious homemade happy hour, you can dish up wedges of the flatbread with Baked Zucchini Fritters and Stuffed Mini Peppers. Serve this classic pie alongside a Quick and Easy Caesar Salad or Italian Salad for a complete meal.

Shop Your Kitchen: There are so many different subs you can consider based on what you have.

- Use bagels, tortillas, French bread, pita, or naan as the base for your pizzas. Or take a few extra minutes to mix up a homemade pizza dough.

- Raid the fridge for bits of cheese, meat, or veg that you can use for toppings.

- Conventional mozzarella or Monterey Jack are great subs for fresh mozzarella if you don’t have it or it's too expensive.

How to Make a Meal Prep: Divide the flatbreads into four portions for easy lunches this week. Package in single-serve containers with airtight lids. Reheat before serving.

Freeze Extra for Later: You can freeze pizza cooked or uncooked, or as a kit.

If freezing uncooked, lay evenly on a tray in the freezer until firm, then transfer to a freezer-safe container. Store for up to 6 weeks. Bake from frozen.

If freezing cooked pizza, cool and wrap for freezing. Chill until cold before transferring to freezer. Store for up to 6 weeks. Reheat in microwave, oven, or air fryer.

If making a pizza kit, place the packages of flatbread, cheese, and a small packet of spice mix in a larger freezer-safe bag in the freezer. Thaw overnight before making the pizza. Add the oil and fresh tomatoes when you assemble the pizza.

Make a Plan for Leftovers: Leftover pizzas are delicious the next day. Be sure to promptly store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator, for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or in the
