METHOD
Why It Works
Baking on a hot sheet pan crisps the crust while the cheese melts. A light creamy base seasoned with Cajun spice ties the toppings together.
Quick Fixes
Crust soggy: pre-bake the flatbread a few minutes before topping.
Toppings sliding: don't overload; a thin layer bakes best.

Avo's Tip
Pre-bake the crust for a few minutes so it stays crisp under the toppings.
