This vegan flatbread pizza is topped with a rainbow of vegetables and a flavorful pesto, then drizzled with balsamic glaze for an irresistible meal!
The Best Flatbread for Pizza
Technically, flatbread was a term used for dough without yeast, producing a very flat cracker-like flatbread. But as they became trendy, we now see the term flatbread used for all kinds of crusts. I used a pre-made 4×8” flatbread and it was perfect. If you want to make flatbread from scratch, you can use my easy flatbread recipe! Just be sure to par-bake it before adding the toppings.
Ingredients & Substituions
Flatbread– I used pre-made flatbread. I like the Stonefire Kitchen artisan flatbreads and Aldi has a similar version that works great. These can be stored in the freezer and baked from frozen. I also have a recipe for an easy flatbread if you want to make your own from scratch.
Pesto– I recommend the vegan pesto from Trader Joe’s, but if you don’t want to use pesto you can substitute marinara sauce or pizza sauce instead.
Vegetables– I used a combination of diced red onion, bell pepper, carrots, and tomatoes. You can use any color bell pepper and you can swap out any vegetables you’re missing with zucchini, peas, or asparagus.
Balsamic Glaze- Normally, I’d say the balsamic glaze is optional but for this particular recipe, I really recommend it. It adds an umami flavor that really shines on this flatbread. If you don’t have a bottle of balsamic glaze, you can make your own using balsamic vinegar by following the steps below.
How to Make a Balsamic Glaze
Pour 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar into a small pot.
Bring the vinegar to a boil and then turn it down to a simmer.
Stir the vinegar occasionally, and simmer until it becomes thicker. It should take about 10 minutes and it should stick to the back of a spoon.
Remove from heat and let it cool for 5 minutes. It will continue to thicken into a syrup.
