How to Make Mediterranean Flatbread Pizza (Step-by-Step)

Step 1 – Prepare the Flatbread

Heat your oven to 425°F. Place your flatbreads on a parchment-lined baking sheet so they crisp evenly. Brush lightly with olive oil for extra crunch.

Step 2 – Add the Sauce and Cheese

Spread a generous layer of spinach pesto over each flatbread. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella, then scatter crumbled feta for a salty kick.

Step 3 – Add the Mediterranean Toppings

Top with artichokes, red onion slices, grape tomatoes, and olives. The mix of colors makes it as pretty as it is tasty.

Step 4 – Bake to Crispy Perfection

Drizzle lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 10–12 minutes until the crust is crisp and cheese melts. Garnish with parsley before serving.

Pro Tips for the Best Results

Choose a flatbread that’s sturdy enough to hold toppings without bending. To avoid a soggy crust, drain artichokes well and keep pesto layer thin. For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of dried oregano or a squeeze of lemon before serving.

Variations and Substitutions

Swap spinach pesto for basil or sun-dried tomato pesto. Use goat cheese instead of feta for creaminess. For vegan, skip dairy or use plant-based cheese. Try roasted zucchini or grilled eggplant for seasonal variety. These toppings also pair beautifully with balsamic grilled vegetables for Mediterranean dishes.
