Soon after we committed to budgeting and meal planning, I came across a two pack of flatbread at Aldi. The brand is Specially Selected and it is the Stone Oven Baked Artisan Flatbread. When I first started buying them they were $2.99 and now they are $3.49 for the pack of two. My frugal heart isn't partial to the price inflation, but they've become a regular part of our weekly meal plan so I've stuck with them! The sauce is another important part of this recipe. Finding the sauce can be a bit daunting as Aldi (or ours at least) tends to mix the Marinara pasta sauce in with the plain Marinara sauce. I've had to dig and search many times, so don't lose heart :) I'm sharing pictures of each of these as if you're not keeping an eye out on the shelves for them it's easy to pass them by.
The rest of the ingredients depend on personal taste, but I will share what we choose as toppings. A side note is if you're not partial to red sauce on pizza, pesto is also very delicious and smells amazing when baking. It tastes more like an appetizer when using pesto, but so very delicious. Now, without further adieu--here is our budget friendly and delicious flatbread pizza recipe!
Ingredients:
Two Specially Selected flatbreads (or more if you're entertaining company)
Jar of Marinara Sauce (Make sure it does not say Pasta Sauce) We can get 6 pizzas covered with one jar, though we like light sauce on our pizza. But this jar stretches far for us!
Bag of shredded Mozzarella (We've tried other cheese, but this is our favorite) We do a light covering of cheese as well since we try to limit dairy a few times a week.
Sliced Tomato (I put 3 in a row on each pizza)
Baby Bella Mushroom (As much as you like! I usually use about 4 sliced up.)
Chopped Spinach (a fairly light amount)
Pepperoni (for my toddlers sake. This is her favorite part.)
Banana Peppers (This is a new addition for us. We get the mild peppers, but it gives it great flavor and a jar lasts a long time.)
Italian Seasoning
Garlic Powder
Recipe:
Place flatbreads on a pizza pan (when I've used baking sheets it doesn't get as crisp as we like. I like to use a pizza pan since it has holes to cook it better)
Cover with as much marinara as you like.
Sprinkle with cheese.
Add all desired toppings and then sprinkle with Italian seasoning and garlic powder. I don't measure and it's always been delicious!
Bake in oven at 425 degrees for 10 minutes.
That's it! It smells great while baking and my family loves it. Two is plenty for our family of three.
This recipe helps me to have an easy meal option on Thursdays after we've spent the morning grocery shopping. And another plus--my toddler loves to help prepare it!
With heart from our home,
