# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The BBQ sauce gets all caramelized and slightly charred in spots, creating these incredible sweet and savory pockets of flavor
  • You can prep everything in advance and just assemble and bake when hunger strikes
  • The combination of melted cheese and tangy sauce hits every comfort food craving while still feeling fresh
02 -
  • Different flatbreads bake at different speeds, so keep an eye on them during those last few minutes to prevent burning
  • Letting the flatbreads cool for just 2 minutes before slicing helps the cheese set slightly and keeps all your toppings from sliding off
03 -
  • If your flatbread seems a bit thick, brush the edges with a little olive oil before baking to help them get golden and crispy
  • A light dusting of garlic powder over the BBQ sauce layer adds this subtle savory note people cannot quite identify but absolutely love
