Notes

Pre-baking the flatbread is crucial for a crispy crust. Don't overdo the BBQ sauce, use a thin, even layer. For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the BBQ sauce or sprinkle some jalapeños on top. Experiment with different cheeses like provolone, gouda, or a smoky fontina. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
