I don’t know how to say this, so I’m just going to put it out there.
This California Avocado Flatbread is luscious.
And you might not think luscious is an appropriate adjective to describe bread.
Especially Flatbread.
That’s why you have to try this California Avocado Flatbread.
Because there’s a whole, ripe California Avocado kneaded right in to the dough.
And that’s what makes it so luscious.
