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 mise en place by slicing the red onion thinly, halving the tomatoes, draining the artichoke hearts thoroughly, and roughly chopping the parsley. Have the arugula ready for garnishing later.
Step 2: Place flatbreads on a baking sheet and brush one side of each with 2 tablespoons of olive oil to create a crispy base. Spread the spinach pesto evenly over the flatbreads, leaving a small border around the edges.
Step 3: Tear or slice the mozzarella and distribute it evenly over the pesto as the first cheese layer. Scatter the artichoke hearts, black olives, and red onions on top. Add the tomato halves cut-side up, then crumble the feta cheese across the pizzas.
Step 4: Sprinkle oregano, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt over the toppings. Bake in the preheated oven for 5 to 10 minutes, checking around 5 minutes. Remove when the cheese is bubbly and the flatbread edges turn golden and crispy.
Step 5: Let the pizzas cool for 1-2 minutes, then scatter fresh parsley and arugula over the top. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, slice, and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

To prevent sogginess, be sure to drain artichoke hearts well and avoid overloading the flatbread with wet ingredients.
For extra depth, add a sprinkle of pine nuts or replace the olives with sun-dried tomatoes.
Use whole wheat or gluten-free flatbreads to suit dietary preferences.

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 restore crispiness. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the crust soggy.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I make this flatbread pizza ahead of time?

You can prepare the toppings and pesto in advance, but it’s best to assemble and bake the pizza just before serving to maintain freshness and texture.
