Greek Style Pizza

Sometimes it is fun to venture out into unfamiliar territory and explore different ways of life. Some people accomplish this with religion, some by moving to a different place, and some people travel. Me, I like to cook, and I think some might take it for granted just how EASY it can be! :D
I got the idea for this recipe from a pizza I ate at Picazzo Pizza years ago. It is quite easy and very delicious. If you are tired of a life of take out pizza, hamburgers, hot dogs, and mac'n'cheese, this is a good place to start your food adventures. I hope you have as much fun going GREEK as I have been having!

Two whole flat breads (I found mine at the bakery from a Walmart Marketside, and it was surprisingly good)
1/3 c. olive oil
1 Tbsp italian seasoning
2 c. baby spinach leaves, shredded
1-2 roma tomatoes, cut in slices and halved
freshly grated romano or parmesan cheese
1/2 c. kalamata olives
1/3 cup goat or feta cheese, crumbled

Place the flat breads on a baking sheet. Preheat oven to 350. Combine the italian seasoning with the oil and then brush the oil mixture over the flat breads. You may have some oil left over.  Sprinkle lightly, or generously with the romano or parmesan. Then add by layer the spinach leaves, tomatoes, olives, and goat or feta cheese. Drizzle the left over oil over the top of the pizza. Bake the pizzas for 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly crisp, but still somewhat soft and fluffy. Do not burn. Then kali orexi! (enjoy your meal!)

Note: it may not be a bad idea to toss the spinach lightly in olive oil before adding to the the pizza, mine dried out around the edges during baking, but it was still yummy!
