ooooo sounds amazing!!!
I also like using the whole wheat lavash bread from trader joe's when making homemade pizza. It is a great way to make a thin crust pizza and it is ready in like 5 min under the broiler. I also use the lavash bread for wraps and I toast them and eat them with hummus and other such things…
Thanks for the recipes and the website- I will be using these often!!
This pizza was AMAZING! I made a few changes…added fresh basil and some red onions, used tomato paste as a base and sprinkled some marjoram and thyme….very yummy. The pre-made wheat dough was a total time saver. Thank you!
