Pizza Night will never be the same after you try this Super-Thin Pizza. I’ll be honest with you, I was always quite content with the traditional pizza that I had known as a kid. But when I tried this wafer thin and crispy pizza for the first time at Alto Palato restaurant here in Los Angeles, I was on a mission to try and find an easy way to make it at home. I discovered Lavash Bread at my local Trader Joe’s (love TJs!) and the rest is history.
Over the years, I’ve tried more than just the traditional Margherita pizza that we’re making today. Each one is fantastic! After you make the standard Margherita, start experimenting! Some of my favorite variations:
– Potato and grilled corn with a drizzle of Truffle Oil. Amazing! You can use a leftover baked potato and cut it in to small cubes or just use the small frozen cubed potatoes you’ll find in the breakfast frozen food section of your local grocery store. Grab some frozen grilled corn while you’re there and make it easy on yourself.
– Traditional Margherita pizza topped with an Arugula Salad that’s dressed with the Tiny Kitchen Big Taste Homemade Shallot Vinaigrette
– Grilled Shrimp with Feta Cheese
– Leftovers pizza! That’s right, use your leftovers. I’m serious….the sky’s the limit. Leftover Steak and Sautéed Mushrooms (slice the Steak into thin slices…and try topping it with a different cheese…how about Brie), leftover Chinese food (don’t use traditional tomato sauce), leftover Mexican pizza (add some jalapeños and make it spicy)! The possibilities are endless!
I know you’re gonna enjoy this one! Can’t wait for you to tell us about the Thin is In Pizza creation you made!
