Cheeseburger Flatbread Pizza

You won’t believe how good this Cheeseburger Flatbread Pizza is. It’s literally a cheeseburger on a pizza…loaded with hamburger, cheese, pickles, and special sauce. 

If you like cheeseburgers you are going to love this Cheeseburger Flatbread Pizza recipe. It is the perfect quick weeknight dinner or a casual weekend dinner. It’s great for one, two or even a crowd. I use Naan bread to make my flatbread pizzas because I like the flavor and how they brown up in the oven.

What’s the difference between Naan, Flatbread and Pita?

Although it may not seem like it, there are definitely differences between Naan, Flatbread and Pita Bread.

1. Naan is made from water, flour, yeast, yogurt, milk, and butter or sometimes ghee which is just clarified butter.n
2. The main ingredients in Flatbread are flour, water, and salt. No yeast is added to flatbread making it an unleavened breaded.
3. Pita bread is a slightly leavened bread that is made from flour, water, sugar or honey, yeast, and olive oil. Pita bread is baked at a high temperature which allows for the build-up of steam which creates a puffed up pocket. When the pita is cooled the pocket deflates, but it is easy to open and fill.

You could actually use any of these types of bread for this recipe, but as I said I really prefer the Naan because it’s not totally unleavened and it heats up very nicely in the oven or on the grill.

Reheating this recipe:

Although you probably won’t have any leftovers it is easy to reheat this recipe and it tastes just as good as the day you made it. Simply wrap it in foil and place it in a 350° oven for 10-15 minutes. I usually make a double batch so that we have it for lunches the next day.

These are great to pack for work if you have access to a toaster oven. You can microwave it if you want but I really don’t recommend it.
