Homemade Goat Cheese Veggie Lavash Bread "Pizza"

This is no ordinary pizza with tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese. It's kind of like a pizza and it's kind of like really dressed up bread. This pizza bread is someone else's creation after eating at a restaurant and I loved what they made! So I of course had to figure out how to make it (I asked them) so that I could make it at home too.

Veggie Lavash Bread Pizza

For the bread, you can purchase any kind of flat bread you like. This was made with wheat lavash bread from Trader Joe's. It's really soft like a flour tortilla, so you first bake it (or toast it) a little to dry it out and harden it. Then you can pile on the toppings. Well, not exactly pile since the bread is thin and too much stuff will make it soggy and fall apart. (Yep, I've piled on too much before.)

Toppings are thin layers of:

Sauteed sliced onions

Sauteed sliced mushrooms

Shredded carrots

Shredded zucchini

Chopped basil

Chopped tomatoes

Goat cheese crumble

Balsamic vinegar

Olive oil

Salt to flavor

You will want to pre-cook your onions and mushrooms and let them cool. You can refrigerate these and use for another pizza at a later time (but not too long). Layer very sparsely the onions and mushrooms as the bottom-most layer. Then the shredded carrots and zucchini. You can also substitute zucchini with something else green like cucumbers. This third layers is where I kind of forgot what goes first. But I don't think it's a big deal as the flavors are similar. The tomatoes and basil go next, but I put the basil underneath the tomatoes so that it doesn't burn and dry out. Not sure if goat cheese goes next or the balsamic vinegar and olive oil drizzle...but I put goat cheese first and then drizzle last so as not to give it too much time to become moist. (Yep, I've drizzled too much before such that certain portions are sour while other areas are not so flavorful.) Then I put a little salt on top for flavor because I don't put too much salt in my mushrooms and onions. If you want, you can flavor those more heavily and lighter on top.. I don't have exact measurements because well, I didn't measure anything. It's just sort of how much/little flavor you like. Then you bake in your preheated oven for a few minutes and take it out. Hopefully the bottom is crisp and the cheese just lightly melted. I set the oven to about 400 degrees. Bake for just a few minutes and then take it right out. I like the crispy bread and the slightly raw slightly warm veggies. The goat cheese and balsamic vinegar go well together. I didn't really like goat cheese until this and now I've grown accustomed to the taste. It's quite good. =)
