Why are we in love with flatbreads? Most obviously because they make us feel like we are eating an actual pizza, but with less calories. I love flatbreads because they satiate me in ways no other "skinny" food can. By offering both taste and texture, I just can't get enough of them.
Flatbreads are the skinny update to Friday Night Pizza Night because they are healthier than frozen or delivery pizza and kids love to help make them; but you can even go beyond the pizza and enjoy flatbreads for sandwiches and even in place of hamburger buns. The options are endless, but here are 8 sensational recipes to get you started.
