to assemble half lavash pizza
- 3 piece whole wheat lavash bread I use Trader Joe's
- 2 spoonfuls arrabbiata sauce I use Rao's
- few spoonfuls mushroom-spinach mixture
- few kalamata olives, sliced
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- few fresh basil leaves julienned
- to taste crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
Step 1 - Prep
- Heat up a cast iron skillet on medium heat, once hot, add oil.
- Add sliced mushrooms. Saute for 3 minutes and season with a little salt.
- This is what you should have.
- Add 5 ounces of spinach. Season with salt to taste. Cook for 3 minutes or until the spinach wilts.
- Once veggies are cooked, turn off the stove.
- Transfer the spinach mushroom mix to a paper towel to help soak the moisture. Doing this step will ensure your pizza won't be soggy.
Step 2 - Assemble
- Split whole wheat lavash bread (I love Trader Joe's) in half.
- Spread 2 spoonfuls of your favorite marinara sauce (I used Rao's Arrabbiata Sauce). Don't add too much sauce else your pizza will be soggy.
- Spread some of the spinach mushroom mixtures. Also, top with sliced olives.
- Top with shredded parmesan cheese.
- Place the lavash bread into a toaster oven and bake at 400 degrees for 5-6 minutes. The lavash bread will get toasty.
- Once done, remove the pizza from the toaster oven.
- Cut lavash pizza into fours. Top with julienne basil and crushed red pepper.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- For Gluten-free option: use GF lavash bread.
- For Vegan option: use vegan cheese.
- For Sauteing Veggies: Once the mushrooms and spinach have been cooked down, be sure to place the veggies on a paper towel to soak up the moisture. This will prevent you from having soggy pizza.
- For Baking Pizza: When baking the pizza in the toaster oven, make sure you check the pizza after 4 minutes for your desired crispiness. Bake for another minute or two depending on how crispy you want your pizza.
