Greek-style Thin-crust Pita Pizza

Ingredients

pita or gyro bread
hummus
tomato
spinach
one garlic clove, minced
mozzarella cheese, grated
feta cheese
coarse sea salt
freshly-ground black pepper
red pepper flakes


Instructions

Preheat oven to 400. Brush the top of the bread with olive oil, then spread a thin layer of hummus across the top. Sprinkle red pepper flakes on the hummus*, follow with 1/4 of the mozzarella. Lay spinach leaves across the top, then lay slices of tomato in a circle on top of the spinach. Top with remaining mozzarella, feta cheese and minced garlic. Season with the sea salt (I gave it a scant pinch of finely-ground sea salt as well), black pepper, and more red pepper flakes to taste.

Bake until cheese melts (~8 minutes).



*Note that spicy hummus can be substituted for the plain hummus w/ red pepper flakes.

The Perfect Glass of Iced Tea

I teabag tazo awake
