Notes

For extra crispness, brush the top with olive oil before baking.
Add shredded cheddar and jalapeños for a spicy version.
Store leftovers in the fridge for 4–5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
Reheat in a toaster oven, skillet, or air fryer for best texture.
Great as a base for pizzas, breakfast wraps, or as a dipper for soups and spreads.
