Peach and Bocconcini Pizza

· Leave a Comment

I loved cooked peaches. They give up their juices as they cook and are so delicious this time of the year. Perhaps these are memories from childhood. Either way this experiment of adding ripe peaches to pizza turned out really, really good. It started with fig jam on a pita, topped with sliced, ripe peaches, and a few other tasty bites. Then became the perfect lunch which left me wanting more. The only thing I would do different next time is add some seasoned grilled chicken or shrimp if I had it.

I will be making these again. Like tomorrow. I have a Ladies/Mom’s Wine Night planned for tomorrow evening, and needed to make a tasty, summery, simple bite. After success with the peach pizza flavour combination, I decided to try and make a smaller, appetizer version for the wine night. Using a glass, I cut small circles out of one of the leftover pitas and proceeded to make mini versions of the peach pizza. Turned out fabulous and these will be my offering for our Wine Night.

 

Grilled Veggie, Pesto & Bocconcini Pizza

· 2 Comments

This Grilled Veggie, Pesto & Bocconcini pizza is inspired by my leftover grilled veggies.  I loved grilled veggies (mushrooms, peppers, onions, zucchini) and in the summer we grill them frequently.  Leftovers usually find their way into omelets or pasta dishes.  This time however, I decided to put the leftovers on a pita and make yet another version of a pita pizza.   

Cheesy Basil Flatbread

· Leave a Comment

Flatbreads are traditionally unleavened bread, which is made without yeast. Flour, water, and salt are the main ingredients and popular flatbreads are naan and pita. We like to use store bought pre-made pizza shells or fresh pizza dough we pick up at the local Italian Store. Or if you have a favourite pizza dough recipe, make it and use that for your flatbread.

Flatbreads can be used as sandwiches, to scoop up stews or curries or add some toppings and serve with dinner.

Use your favourite cheese when making this Cheesy Basil Flatbread or use the old white cheddar as recommended. This cheese or any smoked cheese adds a little bite and flavour boost. It’s perfect for lunch or dinner served with a side salad.

Change it up by adding roasted garlic, olives, sun dried tomatoes, salami, artichoke hearts or any of your lighter favourite toppings.
