Easy Mediterranean Veggie Flatbread with Hummus
Published: 27/08/2025 By Thomas Ross

Ingredients
- Flatbread Base
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Hummus
- 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas drained and rinsed
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- Water as needed for consistency
- Veggie Toppings
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 cucumber diced
- 1/2 red onion thinly sliced
- 1/2 bell pepper diced
- 1/4 cup Kalamata olives pitted and sliced
- 1/4 cup feta cheese crumbled (optional)
- Fresh parsley chopped for garnish
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir until well mixed.
- Add the water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle a bit more flour and knead it gently.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to your desired thickness for the flatbread. Aim for about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the rolled-out flatbread in the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat for remaining dough.
- While the flatbreads are cooking, prepare the hummus. In a food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and ground cumin.
- Blend the mixture until smooth. If it's too thick, gradually add water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
- Once the flatbreads are ready, spread a generous layer of hummus on each one.
- Top the hummus with halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, sliced red onion, diced bell pepper, and sliced Kalamata olives.
- If desired, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top of the veggies.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for added flavor and color.
- Slice the flatbreads into wedges and serve immediately while fresh.
Notes
These Easy Mediterranean Veggie Flatbreads are not only delicious but also a versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a light lunch or a satisfying snack. The flatbread is made from a simple dough that consists of just flour, salt, baking powder, water, and olive oil, making it easy to whip up at home. Once baked, it serves as a perfect canvas for the creamy hummus and fresh vegetables.
The hummus is made from pantry staples, including chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and spices. It’s better to blend the ingredients to your desired consistency; feel free to add water gradually until you achieve a creamy texture. This hummus adds a rich flavor and protein boost to your flatbread.
When it comes to the toppings, the combination of cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, bell pepper, and Kalamata olives brings vibrant colors and refreshing flavors to the dish. You can customize the toppings according to your preferences — adding or omitting vegetables based on what you have on hand. The optional feta cheese adds a salty creaminess that complements the veggies beautifully.
For an attractive presentation, assemble your flatbreads just before serving, and garnish them with fresh parsley for a pop of color. These flatbreads are best enjoyed fresh but can also be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for a quick meal later. Serve with a side of extra hummus for dipping or spread additional toppings as desired. Enjoy your Mediterranean feast!
