Flatbread Pizzas with Corn and Prosciutto



We love standard pizzas but sometime we want to change it up a bit.  To make pizza quickly and without all the fuss of making homemade dough or rolling out store bought dough I turn to flatbreads for the base.  We have a great brand called Stonefire Authentic Flatbreads that I just love using for so many things.  Usually I get one of their packages of Original Naan to make quick pizzas with but the grocery store was out of them and instead I found that they now make Artisan Thin Pizza Crust.  They are very similar in texture to the Naan but have an 8" round pizza shape and come in a pack of 4.  




You can certainly choose any type of flatbread that you would like for this pizza, but this is a good choice as well.  I decided to give our pizza a summer vibe since the weather is still hot around Los Angeles.  Instead of a traditional pizza sauce base I went with a garlic oil and topped it with fresh corn kernels, mozzarella, and prosciutto that crisps up on the oven and gives you a salty bite.  Once baked, I topped it with peppery arugula and fragrant basil and a douse of olive oil.  I must say this is one of the BEST pizzas I've made.  My husband certainly ate his portion and then some!  

Try a light and fresh pizza that is bursting with flavor for your next pizza night.  It's a winner!

Enjoy!
