Pizza Jacques Way

Seems like we've been a little busy lately. Still have to put food on the table. We have a local pizza joint that delivers great pizza. With tip and all it costs $23 for a big pie with a 45 minute waiting time. We have tried every kind of premade crust on the market with disappointing results. My wife makes a mean homemade crust, thin and crunchy, but it needs to be made in advance to be good. So what you gonna do?

One of my very favorite chefs has a new T.V. show Jacques Pepin's Fast Food My Way. Loads of great easy to make recipes. I decided to cruise his web site that has a videos you can watch. I am a very visual guy and video makes an easy learning curve for me. Low and behold Jacques has a recipe for Lavash Pizza. That sounded kinda nasty but I gave it a try. I didn't have fresh mozzarella like the recipe so I substituted shredded. Made a whole lot of tasty pizza with a great thin cracker like crust. Fast, cheap and good. I think that will be my new mantra. Check it out!

YOU go. Man, I am so hungry. Why I'm perusing food blogs I just don't know. Gotta fast for a dumb blood test in the am. AND YOUR PIZZA ISN'T HELPING !!!
Careful of the pre-shredded cheeses, they tend to have an anti-caking additive and can make it tough to melt sometimes. Looks like you got decent stuff though, eh?
Man, that'd be a perfect use for our maters ...

i get my lavash at trader joes and how yummy! i'll be making your pizza as a snack today for my boys :o)

have you tried the store bought pizza crusts from trader joes? if you haven't been there, give those a shot! they have a garlic herb, plain and wheat.

if your wife would like to make her own, i've had great results with a website called robbie's recipes and she has an 8 min. pizza crust that is super simple and a no cook pizza sauce that i think is excellent :o)

thanks for the blog about lavash pizza!

feel free to check out my blog :o) i love to cook and sometimes in elaborate ways and other times very fast and cheap :o)

thanks!
