This flat bread pizza recipe uses Greek flat breads, tinned pasta sauce, torn mozzarella and a few sliced peppers to produce a gorgeous lunch that takes minutes to make and tastes incredible.

We tend to make this quick lunch option out of sheer laziness, but it really does look and taste the business.

What's more, while we tend to go for a classic combination of red peppers and rocket, these pizzas can be easily tweaked with different toppings to suit whatever cravings you may have that day.

You can use any flat bread you like, but I tend to opt for Greek flat breads - the kind you'd use for gyros - since they're soft and round and crisp up in the oven, leaving just the right amount of soft interior to balance with the toppings.
