Ingredients

Flatbread (Optional Fresh)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup warm water
1 Tbsp. olive oil
Pinch of salt
OR
2 store-bought flatbreads
Toppings
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
1/4 cup prosciutto
1 cup arugula
1 Tbsp. olive oil
Optional: balsamic glaze, Parmesan

Directions

Step 1 – Make the flatbread (or skip it) In a bowl, mix flour, warm water, olive oil, and salt until a soft dough forms. Knead for about 3–5 minutes until smooth. Let it rest for 10 minutes, then roll into thin rounds. (or just use store-bought — no ego here)

Step 2 – Pre-cook the flatbread (if homemade) Heat a pan over medium heat and cook each flatbread for about 1–2 minutes per side until lightly set but not fully browned. (this keeps it from getting soggy later)

Step 3 – Preheat the oven Preheat your oven to 400°F so it’s fully hot before anything goes in. (hot oven = crisp base, not soft bread)

Step 4 – Build the base Place flatbreads on a baking sheet and spread mozzarella evenly across the surface, getting close to the edges so every bite has something going on. (even coverage = no dry bites)

Step 5 – Bake Bake for 10–12 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and just starting to turn golden. Keep an eye on it toward the end. (this is the line between perfect and burnt)

Step 6 – Add toppings after baking Remove from the oven and immediately layer the prosciutto and arugula on top. The heat will soften them slightly without drying them out. (this is what makes it feel elevated)

Step 7 – Finish it right Drizzle olive oil or balsamic glaze lightly over the top, then let it sit for a minute before slicing. (this helps everything settle instead of sliding off)

Step 8 – Serve Slice into clean pieces and serve while still warm and slightly crisp. (simple, but it hits every time)
