Fresh Tomato, Basil, and Cheese Pizza
Wednesday, December 1, 2010 - 5:01pm
Review/Modifications:
- Instead of buying a pre-made crust, I made a Betty Crocker pizza crust and added two teaspoons of Italian cheese to the mixture. Also, I found that I had to add a little flour to make the crust less doughy. I rolled the crust out to the edges of my round baking sheet, then folded over the edges to make it look pretty.
- I sprinkled Italian season over the entire crust, prior to adding the toppings.
- Speaking of toppings, instead of sliced garlic, I use minced garlic.
- There were three adults sharing this pizza and it was entirely gone in 5 minutes flat. It was that good. Seriously. None of us could believe how good it was considering that there was ZERO tomato sauce and only a handful of cheese. We ate the whole pizza before even touching anything else. Given that, um, I may have had more than 5 WW points- lol.

This pizza sounds fabulous and a great way to use the bounty of our edible landscape It's hard to go wrong with fresh food and when you've grown it yourself it's even better, that's the approach I take with http://www.ediblegardenlandscaping.com. Thanks, you've just answered the what's for dinner question for today. I'm going to take it a step further and do a homemade crust from good ol' Betty Crocker cookbook and will use some whole wheat flour to beef up the nutritional value a bit more.
