Pizza Christmas Tree Pull-Apart Bread

This is a very easy appetizer where Pillsbury Original Crescent Rolls do most of the work along with turkey pepperoni (can use regular of course) and finely grated mozarella cheese. I think it needs more pepperoni, cheese and a few herbs like basil and/or oregano so there won’t be such a doughy taste – just … Continue reading

Pizza Skulls

TRICK-OR-TREAT AND HAPPY HALLOWEEN! I couldn’t let Halloween go by without making something new for this favorite holiday. I saw this recipe last year and bought the special “skull pan” from Nordic Ware. This pan has apparently been a hit on the internet with millions viewing it (including a video by Food.com) and is a … Continue reading

Caramelized Onion Pesto Tortillas On The Grill

I love to make these tortilla or flatbread pizzas on my grill using pizza stones. Recently I made these crispy tortillas with golden caramelized onions, pesto and more cheese. I love all kinds of flatbread but for these quick appetizers (or a light lunch) thin tortillas are the way to go. So easy – just … Continue reading

Its origin remains debated as to whether Germany or France can claim this savory treat where the ingredients shine. This is a thin, crispy dough topped with bacon, fromage blanc, creme fraiche and onions. I like to call … Continue reading

Cauliflower Pizza Crust

Cauliflower recipes seem to be very popular, whether you roast them, add them to salads, just snack on them or even turn them into rice. I made cauliflower rice not too long ago that was delicious with a blood-orange shrimp stir fry. For some time I have noticed  recipes about making pizza crust out of cauliflower. … Continue reading

Detroit-Style Pizza

Sauce on top!!! My niece Bethany and I recently attended a Zingerman’s Bakehouse class on Detroit (Michigan) Classics. This might be the best class I have ever attended, not just because I shared this experience with my niece, but all three recipes we made were just delicious, especially the pizza. See below for the history of … Continue reading

Sourdough Cinnamon-Apple French Toast

What a delicious light-textured yeast bread topped with apples, cinnamon and maple syrup.  There is no obvious sourdough flavor but I am sure the starter does add some depth to this great breakfast/brunch dish.  The crust has a crispy bottom and would make an excellent  pizza dough!  If used as a pizza cut the toppings … Continue reading
