Whenever I am in the mood for pizza but need something with a bit more sustenance, I make this mushroom flatbread. It is crispy, cheesy, and filling. I top it with roasted mushrooms, fresh pesto, and mozzarella. The simple ingredients yield a flatbread pizza that is earthy, herby, and beyond satisfying.

For the Toppings
Prepare the dough: In a bowl combine whole wheat flour with dry yeast and salt. Add water and 2 tbsp olive oil and mix until you have a sticky dough.
Continue mixing for 4 more minutes and until you have a soft, elastic dough. Cover and let it rise for 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Flour a baking pan and set aside. With the help of a rolling pin, roll the dough. Transfer to the prepared baking pan.
Top the flatbread with tomato sauce and diced tomatoes. Then top with mozzarella cheese and mushrooms. Drizzle with 1 tsp olive oil.
Put the flatbread in the oven and bake for 15 minutes or until the borders are golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove from oven and top with pesto, fresh basil, and black pepper or crushed red pepper to taste. Cut into 8 slices.
