- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 6 ounces cheese
- ¼ cup pizza sauce
- toppings
- fresh herbs if desired
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375˚with one rack set at the lowest level. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper, if desired for easy cleanup. To ensure a nice crisp crust, do not use foil.
-
Place the flour tortilla on the sheet pan and drizzle with 1 teaspoon of the olive oil. Brush to oil over the entire surface of the tortilla including the edges. If the surface is not coated, drizzle a few more drops of oil and brush again.
-
Flip the tortilla over and repeat the oil and brushing.

Place the sheet pan into the oven and heat for 2½-3 minutes or until the tortilla starts to puff a little bit. Remove pan, flip the tortilla to the opposite side and flatten out any puffiness with a metal spatula.
-
Return pan to the oven for another 2½ minutes. Remove from oven and flip the tortilla over to the opposite side.
-
Top pizza, starting with the cheese. Dollop the sauce evenly over the cheese, then add pepperoni (or other toppings).
-
Bake for 3-5 more minutes or until edges of the pizza are golden and cheese is beginning to bubble.
-
Remove from ovenand top with fresh herbs, if desired.
-
Cut pizza into slices and serve.
