These flatbread pizzas are proof that you don’t need much to make something crave-worthy. A quick rub-and-toast of naan or pita bread creates a flavorful base, thanks to Shawhan Farms Betty’s Best Sweet & Spicy BBQ Rub. Top with whatever’s in the fridge—leftover chicken, roasted veggies, shredded cheese—and bake until crisp.
