Leftover Pizza Dough Flatbread

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:

Just a little leftover dough.

 

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!
