Veggie Sandwiches

In an effort to save money, the hubs and I have started trying to eat more vegetarian meals. We love vegetables but we don't always know the best recipes for a meal that is fully vegetarian. This recipe is a variation of a veggie sandwich recipe I saw on allrecipes.com. I made my own flatbread with a recipe I usually use for pizza dough, but it always comes out so good that I just want to eat the crust! The flatbread/pizza dough recipe is great because it's quick. There's no rise time; you just mix the ingredients and bake it!

Flatbread/Pizza Dough

Ingredients:

3 cups flour

1 package yeast

1 tsp salt

1 TBL sugar

Dried thyme and basil (optional)

1 cup warm water (~110 degrees F)

2 TBL vegetable oil

Preheat oven to 375. In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, salt sugar, thyme, and basil. Add the water and vegetable oil and stir to combine. When it starts to seem like there isn't enough liquid for it to fully combine, start using your hands to knead the dough. On a floured surface (I just use my pizza stone), roll out the dough and transfer to the baking sheet if you haven't already done so. Bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes.

While the flatbread is baking, you can get the vegetables ready. You can basically use whatever you like; we used zucchini, yellow squash, 1/2 red onion, and mushrooms. I also think that peppers or tomatoes would taste delicious. We chopped the zucchini and squash width-wise and the red onion so that it became strips, and put them on the grill (definitely use a grill platter so they don't fall!). Brush them with olive oil so they don't char and cook them for about 15 minutes. We sauteed the mushrooms in some olive oil with salt and pepper.

When everything is done, you can put it all together. Cheese is also a good idea here; we have some fantastic sage cheddar that we got from the farmers market, so we used that as well.

This recipe is delicious and I really hope you give it a try! Please enjoy!
