It just seemed too basic to taste like real pizza. But once again, there is some magic in this recipe that makes it simple but so, so good! We've made a bunch of these. The kids asked for them for breakfast today. AND I use the technique of the 'dinner boards' recipe when I lay out the toppings--a nice big slap of a cutting board with little selections of toppings (a small pile of mushrooms, thinly sliced onion, a little cluster of spinach leaves, some pieces of left over ham or chicken from the night before, the last of the leftover half of tomato in the fridge, all cut up and bright red). Somehow it all looks pretty and appealing on the board, then ends up on the pizza and getting eaten. So good! --Cathy KAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31773345.post-83727784603157397362016-02-15T08:55:50.711-05:002016-02-15T08:55:50.711-05:00tortilla pizza: SOLD!tortilla pizza: SOLD!Catherine Winchildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11970537752769859246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31773345.post-47186308699375752262016-02-11T14:25:56.224-05:002016-02-11T14:25:56.224-05:00This is my kind of recipe!

Perfect for nights when I just get home from work and have no idea what to fix for supper and this way, everyone can make it special by putting their own favorite toppings on it!

Don't buy a new one - get a used one from a flea market, garage sale, antique store and just clean it up. The old stuff is WAY better than the new stuff. Do you have a pizza stone? I bet you could preheat the stone and use it to make the bottom crispy.Rachel_Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08002321272570376186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31773345.post-59414179281765810872016-02-10T08:18:58.290-05:002016-02-10T08:18:58.290-05:00But I don't have a cast iron skillet yet (she ...But I don't have a cast iron skillet yet (she whines) Yes, I know, I need to get one tout suite (sp is wrong).

Bar pizza (at least here in MN, where the Platonic Ideal of bar pizza is Heggies: http://www.sctimes.com/story/life/food/2014/12/16/heggies-frozen-pizza-following/20495399/) has a very thin, crispy, cracker-like crust. So I can see how this recipe would mimic that. I can't wait to try it!Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03431550626743701854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31773345.post-82959174582947196172016-02-09T20:15:39.197-05:002016-02-09T20:15:39.197-05:00The Cooks' Illustrated book The Science of Goo...The Cooks' Illustrated book The Science of Good Cooking is totally transformative.

I was informed (via text) by my teen daughter that today is National Pizza Day and, perhaps, we could somehow incorporate that into our already planned Pancake Tuesday dinner. My head commenced to spin. But this, this might just mean that my child can make an after-school snack that doesn't involve me and I can "concentrate" on the dinner. MJnoreply@blogger.com
