In our quest to live more frugally, not waste, and use up what we have on hand before spring (hence our 2012 Clean Out), I came up with this simple treat.
We try to make Sundays pizza night (a tradition leftover from my childhood LONG ago). My husband’s favorite is a deep dish Chicago-style pizza. After rolling out the dough and trimming the edges a bit, I found I had a handful of dough left over.
I caught myself just before I tossed it in the trash can.
“Appetizer, ” I thought.
I rolled it out, drizzled some garlic-infused olive oil and a drop or two of balsamic on it, sprinkled it with some dried tomato flakes and some Parmesan and popped it in the oven.
The result:
Some delicious flat bread!
I feel bad posting just a little tiny piece of flat bread, but after my insane baking, I need a little break!
(Next time I have leftover pizza dough, I think I will be really bad and pinch off little pieces, fry it up, and douse it in garlic butter!)
Have a great Wednesday!
