# Expert Hints:
01 -
- The contrast between tangy BBQ sauce and melty cheese creates that perfect bite
- Ready in under 30 minutes but tastes like it came from a restaurant kitchen
- Easy to customize with whatever vegetables you have in the fridge
02 -
- Let the flatbread cool for just a couple of minutes before slicing so the cheese sets slightly
- A pizza cutter makes cleaner slices than a knife and does not drag the toppings
03 -
- Room temperature flatbread bakes more evenly than cold straight from the fridge
- Smoked gouda instead of cheddar adds this incredible depth and smokiness
