Pizza Friday Revisited

I haven’t posted about Pizza Fridays in a while. Yep, it’s still the ritual in our home. I’m into simpler toppings these days—good quality, “less is more” all the way. I start out with a multi-grain flatbread, Lavash, from my local farmers market. Sometimes I even make a quick, easy homemade bread called Chapati (Google the recipe from Mark Bittman, the Minimalist). This is our new favorite—top flatbread with…

Pesto sauce
Thinly sliced fresh garlic
Thinly sliced onion
Sliced black olives (optional)
Thinly sliced chopped prosciutto or chopped, cooked chicken
Mozzarella cheese
Romano cheese

Cook pizza on lowest rack at 400 degrees for 5-7 minutes until bread is browned and cheese is melted. Remove from oven and top with arugula. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and fresh cracked black pepper. Drizzle with good olive oil before serving. Yep…yum.
