Chef Tips:
- Crisp Crust Tip: For an extra crispy bottom, place the flatbreads directly on a preheated pizza stone or baking steel.
- No Fresh Basil? Substitute parsley or baby arugula after baking.
- Make Ahead: Roast the tomatoes up to 3 days in advance and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Make It a Meal: Serve with a simple arugula salad dressed with lemon and olive oil.
- Entertaining Shortcut: Cut each pizzetta into small squares and serve as an appetizer for parties or game day gatherings.
