Healthy Flatbread Pizza
I wanted to come up with a quick and easy, healthy pizza recipe.
I used multi-grain flat bread with flax seed from Aldi and just piled on a few healthier toppings:
I made a base spread with a bit of kick: 1/2 tsp Sambal Oelek - 1/2 tsp olive oil - 1 clove garlic, crushed. My toppings:
Thinly-slices Roma tomato - Thinly diced lean ham - Crumbled mozzarella - A drizzle of EVOO.
I spread a thin layer of my base spread on the flat bread before adding my toppings.
I baked the flat-bread pizza for 10 minutes at 425 F and topped the cooked pizza with thinly sliced fresh basil.
This makes a great healthy snack!
I guess you could use any topping according to taste. But if you like it spicy, the Sambal-Garlic base gives it a really good kick without overpowering the other ingredients.
Notes:
Sambal Oelek is a chili paste and is available in jars at the International Section at most grocery stores. Once opened, store in the refrigerator for 3 months or so. It's a good ingredient to have on hand for spicing up your dishes without influencing the taste of the main ingredients.
EVOO = Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
