Frequently Asked Questions

Can I prepare pesto vegetable flatbread ahead?

Prepare components in advance where practical, but use the final cooking and resting steps for the best texture. Cool perishable ingredients promptly and store them covered in the refrigerator.

How should I adjust the seasoning?

Pat mozzarella dry to avoid a soggy center. Taste near the end and make small adjustments rather than adding a large amount at once.
