Let’s make it.

Heat the oven
Heat to 425°F / 220°C. Put the flatbreads on a large baking sheet. If they are very soft, bake them plain for 3 minutes first.
Add the sauce
Mix passata with oregano and a pinch of salt if needed. Spread a thin layer over each base, leaving a small border.
Top lightly
Scatter over the drained mozzarella and thinly sliced pepper. Drizzle with oil. Avoid piling on wet toppings, which can make the base soggy.
Bake
Bake for 8–12 minutes, until the cheese bubbles and the edges are crisp. Let stand for 2 minutes, then add basil and slice. Use fully cooked meat if adding meat toppings.

A little kitchen wisdomDrain fresh mozzarella well. Too much sauce and cheese can overwhelm a thin base.
