    Mediterranean Pizza (TNT) Empty Mediterranean Pizza (TNT)

    Here is another really great meatless meal....Just a few notes...I also added some fresh spinach to the toppings and I used the black olives instead of the Kalamata olives. I couldn't find a two pound round loaf of bread, so I used two 1-lb. loaves of bread and cut 4 slices of bread (you might need to make them a little thicker than 1/2 inch....it is hard to cut them that thin....
    Enjoy!

    Mediterranean Pizza
    Perfect for the whole family. Add a salad and you have a quick and easy
    supper.

    Serves: 8
    Prep. time: 25 minutes
    Cooking time: 20-25

    ~ 1 2-lb. round loaf Italian bread
    ~ 1/4 cup Crisco® Light Olive Oil
    ~ 1 -1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
    ~ 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
    ~ 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
    ~ 1 cup seeded and chopped Roma tomatoes
    ~ 1/2 cup chopped and pitted Kalamata or black olives
    ~ 1 6-ounce container feta cheese, crumbled

    PREHEAT oven to 350°F.
    CUT two 1/2-inch-thick rounds horizontally from center of bread (reserve remaining bread for another use). Brush bread rounds on both sides with olive oil. Place on baking sheet. Bake until crisp, about 8-10 minutes.
    Cool 5 minutes.
    COMBINE oregano, red pepper flakes and mozzarella cheese. Reserve 1/2 cup of cheese mixture. Divide remaining seasoned cheese evenly atop toasted bread rounds. Sprinkle each with tomatoes, olives and feta cheese. Top with remaining seasoned cheese.
    RETURN to oven. Bake 12-15 minutes or until cheeses melt and crusts are crisp.

    PEG'S NOTE:
    I also added some fresh spinach as a topping for the pizza. I used the black olives just because we prefer them....and they are much less expensive than the Kalamata olives!
