Ingredients

For the Flatbread Pizza:

  • 2 flatbreads (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce or hummus (for base)
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup black olives, sliced
  • 1/4 cup cucumber, diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Fresh basil or parsley for garnish

For the Tzatziki Drizzle:

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup cucumber, finely grated and squeezed dry
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1/2 teaspoon dried dill)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the flatbreads on it.
  2. Prepare the Base: Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce or hummus evenly over each flatbread, leaving a small border around the edges.
  3. Add Cheese and Toppings: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly over the base, followed by crumbled feta cheese. Arrange the red onion slices, cherry tomatoes, black olives, and cucumber over the cheese.
  4. Season and Drizzle: Lightly drizzle olive oil over the toppings and sprinkle with dried oregano and red pepper flakes for added flavor.
  5. Bake the Flatbread Pizza: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the edges of the flatbread are golden and crisp.
  6. Make the Tzatziki Sauce: While the pizza is baking, prepare the tzatziki drizzle. In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper. Stir well until smooth.
  7. Cool and Drizzle: Once the flatbread pizza is out of the oven, let it cool slightly for 2-3 minutes. Drizzle the prepared tzatziki sauce generously over the top using a spoon or a piping bag for an even spread.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh basil or parsley over the pizza for a vibrant finish. Slice into pieces and serve immediately while warm.
