AWESOMENESSSS
each family member helped to make their own pizzas, adding special touches, pepperoni, pizza sauce, or spinach. Sure to please everyone! MUCH healthier than ordering out. Delish!

Easy and good
This is a great and fast dinner! I used pita pockets and cut some in half for super thin crust and some whole, both ways were great. Very little clean up also, which is always a plus in my house :)

Fresh Tasting
I used whole wheat pita instead of the flatbread. I thought it was very good and fresh tasting because of the tomatoes and fresh basil leaves.

This was Great!
The kids and I went crazy over this. I bought a jar of pesto at Costco and used whole wheat flat bread that I got there too. I added mushrooms , and browned chicken and I used dried basil instead of the fresh. Two tablespoons of pesto was a little too much. Seed the tomatoes or it came out a little watery. and make sure if you use fresh mozzarella you squeeze it out well. It was fun to make and would be good for a party where you could make your own.

Tomato and Basil Flatbread Pizza
This is a quick and easy recipe. It reminded me how much hubby and I enjoy our flat bread (don't get me started). I did add 1/4 of a very thinly sliced large sweet onion, 1 clove of fresh garlic, I cut back on the basil and added fresh spinach. If you don't have pesto use your own pasta sauce. The nice thing about cookin' Flat Bread...you can do your own thing! This picture shows the flat bread looking more like pita bread. I use Flatout flat bread. It measures 10" by 71/2" for only 100 cal for the whole flatbread and it give you 8g of fiber. It's good as a wrap too.
