Ingredients

2 flatbreads
3 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup spinach pesto
10 oz mozzarella
1 cup tomatoes
1/2 cup red onion
2.25 oz black olives
1 cup artichoke hearts
3/4 cup feta
1 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
Salt to taste
Parsley
Arugula

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 500°F. Prepare your ingredients: thinly slice the red onion, halve the tomatoes, and drain the artichoke hearts thoroughly to avoid soggy flatbread. Roughly chop the parsley and have the arugula ready for garnish.
Step 2: Place the flatbreads on a baking sheet. Brush one side of each flatbread evenly with 2 tablespoons of olive oil for a crispy, flavorful crust. Spread the spinach pesto generously and evenly across each flatbread, leaving a small border.
Step 3: Tear or slice the mozzarella into pieces and distribute evenly over the pesto. Scatter the drained artichoke hearts, black olives, and red onion slices on top.
Step 4: Arrange the tomato halves cut side up across the flatbreads. Crumble the feta cheese over all toppings. Sprinkle oregano, red pepper flakes, and salt to taste.
Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven for 5-10 minutes. Check around 5 minutes—the flatbread is ready when the mozzarella is melted, bubbly, and edges turn golden and slightly crispy.
Step 6: Remove from oven and allow to cool for 1-2 minutes. Scatter the fresh parsley and arugula over the warm pizzas. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, slice, and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

Drain artichoke hearts well to avoid soggy crust.
Use your favorite pesto or try a sun-dried tomato pesto for a different twist.
Add grilled chicken or shrimp for extra protein.

Storage

Store any leftover flatbread pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 375°F for 5-7 minutes to regain crispness. Avoid microwaving as it can make the crust soggy.

FAQs

Can I use regular pizza dough instead of flatbreads?

Yes, you can use pizza dough but bake it slightly longer to ensure the crust cooks through. Adjust toppings and quantities accordingly.

Is it possible to make this pizza vegan?

Absolutely. Substitute mozzarella and feta with your favorite vegan cheeses and use a vegan pesto or blend your own with nutritional yeast for added flavor.
