For my St. Patrick's Day flat bread, I had fun coming up with shamrock and other festive {green} toppings.
Ingredients
Spinach, Feta & Garlic Flat Bread
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tbsp minced garlic
  • 2 Tbsp feta cheese crumbles
  • 2 Tbsp chopped spinach
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • ¼ cup spinach juice, optional (or use additional water)
  • ¼ cup water
Shamrock Pizza
  • Pesto
  • Mozzarella cheese
  • Feta cheese
  • Parmesan cheese
  • Ham, cut into shamrocks (or hearts arranged into a shamrock)
  • Pepperoncinis, sliced
  • Zucchini slices, cut into shamrocks (or hearts arranged into a shamrock)
  • Arugula
  • Green bell pepper, sliced in shamrock rounds
  • Egg
  • Oregano
Instructions
  1. Mix the flour, spinach, garlic, salt, pepper, oregano and feta cheese crumbles with the whisk attachment in a mixer.
  2. Add the spinach juice and/or water and blend until a smooth dough forms. (It should not be too sticky.)
  3. Form the dough into a ball, wrap the dough ball in plastic, and refrigerate it for 30 minutes.
  4. Cut the dough in half and roll each half into a 14-inch crust (or simply roll out to ⅛-inch thick). The dough is very easy to work with so you shouldn't need much flour to shape and roll out the dough.
  5. Place on a pan and bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes.
  6. Then top with sauce and toppings and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, until the cheese melts and everything looks bubbly and lightly golden.
Shamrock Pizza
  1. Cut the ⅛-inch thick dough into large hearts and arrange into a shamrock.
  2. Use a scrap of dough as the stem.
  3. Cover with pesto and mozzarella cheese.
  4. Decorate each section as you would like, using ham shamrocks, pepperoncinis, zucchini shamrocks, green bell pepper shamrocks, egg, oregano, arugula and feta cheese.
  5. Bake for 8-10 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and starting to turn a light golden brown.
