First time using the basil pesto. Was surprised to see that it was more than twice the calories of the Sun-dried Tomato Pesto. Next time I’ll try mixing 1 Tbsp of each kind.

Baked at 350 degrees F for just a few minutes and the bread was soft but not too floppy. I suppose it could be made crisper/crispier.

When trying to lose weight this would only be eaten as a cheat meal. Mixing carbs and fat when trying to lose is a no no : )

If you like a super crispy crust use those small whole wheat pitas.

A soft floppy crust, use tortillas, though they can be made crispy I imagine.

This was good but my fave still remains a pizza sauce, spinach, feta, mozzarella and grape tomato pizza. Second fave is the Hawaiian pizza made with Canadian Bacon, pineapple, mozzarella and pizza sauce. Third fave is pizza sauce, onions, mushrooms, broccoli, mozzarella, grape tomatoes. So I guess the pesto is my fourth favourite. Having just discovered this flat bread I will now, of course, have to try all of the above pizzas using it. : )
