# Expert Hacks:

01 -
  • Everything comes together in under half an hour, making it perfect for those nights when you need dinner fast but still want something special.
  • The sweet tang of BBQ sauce with melted mozzarella creates a flavor combination that works every single time, whether you're feeding kids or hosting friends.
02 -
  • Don't overload the flatbread with toppings or it will get soggy in the middle; a light hand ensures a crispy base every time.
  • Let the flatbread cool for just a minute or two before slicing so the cheese sets slightly and doesn't slide off in a mess.
03 -
  • Use a pizza cutter to slice the flatbread cleanly without dragging the toppings around; it makes serving so much easier.
  • If your flatbread starts to brown too quickly on the edges, tent it loosely with foil for the last few minutes to prevent burning while the cheese finishes melting.
