To whet your appetite, I'd like to share a recipe. This is what we had for dinner last night (and a recipe I make frequently!)
Whole Wheat Flatbread Pizza
Crust:
Master Recipe dough from Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day (Recipe here!)
Extra virgin olive oil
Sauce:
Tomato/pizza sauce, pesto, or alfredo sauce (I used Classico basil pesto, sold with pasta sauces)
Toppings:
Your pizza toppings of choice. (I used sun-dried tomatoes and artichoke hearts--both jarred; fresh spinach; and shredded mozzarella cheese.)
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. If using a baking stone (which is preferable), preheat for 20-30 minutes.
2. Make flatbread using the naan recipe from Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day. (Recipe available here for free!) However, instead of ghee or butter, use 1 Tbsp or less extra virgin olive oil. Watch closely, as it's easy to burn the bread.
3. Spread sauce on flatbread, and cover with toppings.
4. Bake pizzas (on preheated stone, if available) until cheese is melted (browned if you'd like), about 6-8 minutes.
These pizzas are a hit in our house. The flatbread has a wonderful flavor and texture; we prefer it to traditional homemade pizza crust. I like that I can easily make individual pizzas with whatever ingredients each person wants. (Pickier kids can even have plain flatbread, or flatbread with cheese melted on top.) We are reducing cholesterol in our diets, so last night I only used a bit of cheese, and The Engineer still loved the flavor.
Now, get over to yesterday's post and enter the giveaway, and get your friends to enter if you'd like extra entries!

YUM!! I grow basil in my backyard garden - grows so great! And picking it and then blending it into pesto is SO fun!! That looks so super yummy!
That does look good! I love naan. My favorite toppings are pasta sauce, thawed and dried frozen spinach, cooked chicken breast chunks, and feta cheese.
HEB has a crumbled feta that is mixed with basil and sundried tomato.
Yummy!
