Healthy Mediterranean Flatbread

A Mediterranean-inspired flatbread that's healthy, flavorful, and easy to make. The whole-wheat flour provides a nutty flavor and chewy texture, while the olive oil, tomatoes, olives, and feta cheese add a burst of Mediterranean flavors. This flatbread is a perfect weeknight meal or appetizer for any occasion.

The inspiration for this flatbread came to me during a trip to Greece. I was wandering through the streets of Athens when I came across a small bakery that was selling freshly made flatbreads. The bread was so delicious that I bought several loaves to take home with me. Once I got back home, I started experimenting with different recipes until I came up with this one. I've been making this flatbread for years now, and it's always a hit with my friends and family.
