We'd be lying if we said there was anything on this Earth better than pizza. But when you break it down, even the best flatbread recipes are comprised of just a few basic ingredients: bread, sauce, and toppings. On those days when you don't feel like dealing with a complicated sauce or dough, why not try a simple flatbread instead? We've get more than a few flatbread recipe ideas up our sleeve. Tell pizza to move on over — these 24 flatbread recipes will more than earn a place in your heart.

Indian Flatbread and Dip
This flatbread recipe is the definition of comfort food. While naan normally features yogurt, we swapped that ingredients for cashew yogurt to make a vegan flatbread that everyone can enjoy.

Roasted Vegetable Flatbread
This flatbread recipe is a great addition to all your summer picnics this year. You'll want to add all your favorite veggies onto your flatbread, overtop of the cheese and dill, and then brush them with olive oil. Bake for around 25 minutes, which is just enough time to watch your favorite episode of The Office. It's a win-win. (via A Spicy Perspective)
Football Field Flatbread
This flatbread is extra fun and can be used at different times of the year! Finely chopped broccoli makes up the grass on the "field." Once you have that spread out, melt some cream cheese until it's soft and use a Ziplock bag with a corner cut off to create the yard lines. (via Brit + Co)
Skinny Buffalo Chicken Flatbread Pizza
If you're not a huge fan of vegetable flatbreads, make one with chicken instead! This is perfect for anyone and everyone who loves buffalo chicken wings, and the Greek yogurt drizzle and avocado tone down the spiciness a bit. You can mix up the ratio of yogurt to buffalo sauce depending on how spicy you like it. (via Salt & Lavender)
