I thought we needed another fresh template for our blog. Jay loves blue, so I thought this time we could use a blue one ( I tend to avoid blue at all cost ). Dinner last night was so good. I'll post my recipe for those of you who want to try it. The sauce is a homemade recipe made by me.
Ingredients:
Crust- multi-grain whole wheat crust (Trader Joe's) This was so good- crispy on the outside and chewy in the middle...just perfect!
Cheese-mozzarella, fontini, asiago & parmesan.
Oregano
Basil
Tomatos
Onion
Garlic

Abbey's homemade pizza sauce:
1 & 1/2 cups of tomato (about 2 medium tomatoes)
1/4 cup onion
1 garlic clove
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
A pinch of salt
Fresh cracked pepper to taste
1 teaspoon of balsamic vinegar (more of less, depending on what you like)
optional-1 small can of tomato paste (if you want the sauce thicker)

Start cooking the crust while beginning to prepare the sauce. Lightly brush olive oil over the crust before placing in the oven. Place the tomatos, onion, and garlic in a food processor and blend until smooth. Add tomato paste if desired. Add in the oregano, basil, salt and pepper and BV. After crust is bubbly and begins to rise (but not fully cooked-about 6-8 minutes) spread the sauce evenly over the crust and top with the fresh cheeses and toppings of your choice. Our favorite pizza is hawaiian...but we substituted ham for canadian bacon for a healthier version. Cook for 10 more minutes, or until cheese starts to look golden brown. Enjoy!
