First, the pizza. I just made a basic wheat crust with dried onion and italian seasonings thrown in, a quick pizza sauce (tomato paste, water, salt, sweetener, oregano, garlic), and topped it with veggies I had on hand (carrots, zucchini, lightly steamed broccoli, green peppers and black olives). We put a little parmesan cheese on top when it was done.
Mmmm. Good for growing boys :)
The focaccia bread ... I basically made wheat bread but added olive oil and italian seasonings to the dough. Roll out the dough onto a baking sheet and let it rise for a bit. When it's done, poke it with your fingers all around the top to make dents. Drizzle olive oil on top.
Get your topping ingredients ready. I like fresh roma tomatoes (sliced) and fresh basil (chopped). Not pictured here is kalamata olives (chopped). I also like sauteed, sliced onions and garlic.
I like to saute the onions in olive oil. When it's almost done, I add pressed garlic and some salt.
Top your bread ... and bake till done.
We enjoyed our focaccia bread with a sprout salad - YUMMY!

Wow, that looks yummy! I LOVE Romas on pizza. Of course, I have to have mine smothered in mozzarella! Weakness of mine.
ReplyDeleteThese pictures made me hungry! You must be a great cook.
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking the time to share.
You have a beautiful bunch of children there, by the way!
Hello Mary! It was SO HARD for me to give up cheese in general. We do still have a little 'here and there' ... when we do, we try to at least make it raw cheese (easier to digest and it taste better IMHO).
ReplyDeletePoiema - I don't know if I would be considered a good cook by everyone, but some seem to like it ... especially my children and husband :) and that's what matters most. We have a lot of fun cooking together and making up new things.
As for my beautiful children ... I give all the credit to the Lord! They are a blessing straight from Him and I am so thankful for them.
