Greek Flatbread

This Flatbread is so good, I could eat the entire thing myself in one sitting! It’s also quite versatile;  serve it as a stand alone appetizer cut up in small squares, or with a Greek salad as a lunch or dinner entree. You can even switch out the flatbread with a  pizza crust, like Boboli, and turn it into pizza night! Do you have a favorite flatbread recipe? Please share!!
