# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The way the warm seasoned rice mingles with melted mozzarella creates this incredibly comforting texture that is somehow both pizza and sushi at the same time
- You get all those satisfying sushi bake flavors without having to bake an entire casserole, making it perfect for weeknights when you want something special but simple
02 -
- Make sure your sushi rice is completely cooled before mixing it with the other ingredients, otherwise the mayo and cream cheese will melt and make the mixture weirdly gloppy
- Do not overload the flatbread with toppings before baking, or the middle will not heat through properly and you will end up with soggy spots
03 -
- Sprinkle furikake over the cheese before baking for an extra boost of umami and a beautiful speckled appearance
- Use a pizza cutter to slice the finished flatbread, which gives you cleaner edges than a knife
