# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It transforms basic ingredients into something that tastes like it came from a restaurant
  • The whole family gathers around the baking sheet watching the cheese melt like its the most exciting show on television
02 -
  • Adding too much sauce at the start will make your flatbread soggy no matter how hot your oven gets
  • The red onion might seem raw at first but it sweetens beautifully as it roasts alongside the cheese
03 -
  • Leftover grilled chicken adds a smoky flavor that takes this to the next level
  • Put the baking sheet on the lowest rack to get the crispiest bottom without burning the toppings
