Can you cook flatbread pizza on a Blackstone griddle?

Cooking these flatbread pizzas on the griddle is one of my favorite easy dinner hacks! The key is to keep the temp on the Blackstone low so the flatbread crust doesn't burn before the cheese melts. And to also cover the griddle (either with a hood or a large piece of loose foil).

Is flatbread a good crust for pizza?

I love using store-bought flatbread as a pizza crust when I want to save on effort and time! The flatbread still gets crispy on the bottom but remains fluffy and chewy in the middle.

Instructions

Cook Sausage (If Using) - Preheat the griddle to medium and add a thin coat of canola oil. Cook the sausage, while crumbling, until fully cooked and no longer pink. Remove to a plate.
Assemble Pizzas - Preheat the Blackstone griddle to Low heat (about 300 - 350 degrees F). Add a thin coat of canola oil then add the flatbread crusts. Spread sauce on each crust and add the toppings of choice.
Cook Pizzas - Close the hood of the griddle and cook the flatbread pizzas for 5-8 minutes until the bottom of the flatbreads are browned (not burnt) and the cheese is melted. If you don't have a hood, you can add a large piece of foil to loosely tent the pizzas - the key is to trap some of the heat so the cheese melts. If the crusts are getting too dark on the bottom before the cheese is melted, you can turn off the griddle but leave the cover on to trap the residual heat and melt the cheese.
Finish and Serve - Once the flatbread crusts are browned on the bottom and the cheese is melted on top, remove the pizzas from the griddle. Top with the fresh basil and/or a sprinkle or dried oregano or red pepper flakes. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
