Whole-Grain Flatbread Pizza with Seasonal Veggies

Ingredients

For the Flatbread

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup oat flour
  • 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3/4 cup Greek yogurt, nonfat

Pizza

  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup red onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup bell peppers, chopped
  • 1/2 cup mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella, reduced fat, shredded
  • 2 tbsp feta, reduced-fat or fat-free
  • 1/4 tsp dried oregano

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 F.
  2. In a large bowl or food processor, combine whole wheat flour, oat flour, flaxseed, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Stir in yogurt and olive oil. Mix until dough forms - add 1 Tbsp of water at a time if too dry.
  4. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead 1-2 minutes until smooth and pliable.
  5. Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each into a 1/4 thick round (about 6-8 inches across).
  6. Bake on a parchment-lined sheet for 4-5 minutes. Flip and bake another 4-5 minutes.
  7. In a small skillet, heat 1 tsp olive oil and cook onions and other chopped veggies for 4–5 minutes, until softened.
  8. Brush flatbreads lightly with olive oil. Layer sautéed veggies, sprinkle with mozzarella and feta, and top with herbs.
  9. Return flatbreads to the oven and bake at 400°F for 6-8 minutes, until cheese is melted and golden. (Use a sheet pan or place directly on a rack for extra crispiness.)
  10. Serve warm: Top with fresh basil, a handful of chopped spinach, or a light drizzle of olive oil if desired.
