Before You Bake
Do I need to toast the naan first?
Yes- warming the naan or pita in the oven for a few minutes helps it crisp up and hold the toppings without getting soggy.
Can I make these Santorini Balsamic Flatbreads ahead of time? It’s best served fresh, but you can prep the toppings and hummus spread in advance. Assemble and bake right before serving for the best texture.
Can I swap the chicken for something else?
Definitely. Prosciutto, roasted veggies, or even chickpeas make great substitutes depending on whether you want more protein or a vegetarian option.
