In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together the yeast, sugar, and warm water.

Cover loosely and let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.

Add flour, olive oil, salt, and optional seasonings.

Mix on low speed with a dough hook for about 2 minutes until combined.

If the dough feels overly sticky, add flour one tablespoon at a time.

Knead the dough for 6–8 minutes using the mixer or by hand on a lightly floured surface.

Continue kneading until the dough becomes smooth, soft, and slightly tacky.

Place the dough into a lightly greased bowl and cover.

Allow the dough to rest and rise for 45 minutes at room temperature.

While the dough rises, prepare your toppings.

Preheat the oven to 475°F (246°C).

Punch down the dough and divide it into two equal portions.

Stretch or roll each portion into a thin flatbread approximately 1/4 inch thick.

Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza stone.

Prick the surface with a fork or poke with fingertips.

Brush each flatbread with olive oil.

Add sauce, cheese, vegetables, or preferred toppings.

Bake the Homemade Flatbread Pizza Recipe for 15–20 minutes until golden brown and crisp.

Remove from the oven, slice, and serve warm.
