- Grate finely: Finely grated carrots cook evenly and mix seamlessly with the cheese.
- Cheese blend: Mixing mozzarella with a sharper cheese like cheddar or gouda adds flavor depth.
- Crispier edges: Brush flatbread edges with a bit of olive oil before baking for extra crispiness.
- Extra flavor: Add caramelized onions, garlic, or roasted red peppers for more complexity.
