Much thinner than the usual pizza, this Greek Lamb Flatbread is topped with a little feta, a garlic-mint sauce and a fresh vegetables for great crunch. A perfect meal or appetizer.
They are what I call ‘Spring on my Plate’, literally every ounce of this pizza screams spring-summer and Greek Flavors.
Now, who doesn’t like fresh pizza (tell me you love them….please) and there is nothing more relaxing than making one at the comfort of your home, adding the toppings you like and yet you can eat just that extra one as these are the skinny/extra thin types! 
I would not call this a pizza from scratch but more of a semi-homemade, as I’m using a readymade pizza base called –Lavash (which is a thin Mediterranean Bread used as crackers).
The flavors of this Greek Pizza is really refreshing, light and it gives you that extra crunch in every bite. There are days when we eat those extra thick pizza but most of the time thin-crust is what we like best and maybe with a glass of wine for me and beer for him.
The picture above is how the Greek Lamb Flatbread Pizza looks straight from the oven. You can even serve it like this or just top with some fresh garlic-mint sauce, cucumber mix and seasoning for some Bold Greek Flavors.
