Homemade pizza - an easy recipe

My wife and I make homemade pizza using the following ingredients:

1. Four 6" diameter plain flat breads
2. Mid's Pizza Sauce
3. Shredded Mozzarella (and sometimes Asiago) cheese.
4. Tiff puts sliced tomatoes, black olives, and garlic on hers. I put whatever I happen to have handy on mine, from the following items: pepperoni, sausage, bacon, ham, salami, green peppers, onions, chicken, spinach)
5. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes at 400 degrees.

Since we use leftover stuff most of the time, the price comes to about $7 total. I rarely eat both of my pizzas, so it's really 3 or 4 meals for $7. If your package of flatbread comes with five, you can probably squeeze out 5 pizzas worth of sauce and cheese from a single jar of Mid's, and a single pre-packaged shredded cheese bag.

We are not big fans of the Boboli pre-packaged stuff Their products are too sweet. I personally like Schwebel's flatbread for this- edges get nice and crispy, just like a thin crust pizza. There are others that we have tried that are just as good though. Mid's pizza sauce is a good, hearty tasting sauce without being too potent. It lets you enjoy the flavors of the toppings without being distracted by the sauce.

I would be enjoying my second pizza from last night for lunch today, except it's left in the fridge at home and I am in my office eating a travel bowl of Chunky Soup Chicken Noodle, which is only just passable. (I have microwave-ready soup in my office for when I am sick or I forget my lunch, and I don't feel like going out.)

If you want real light and thin pizza, try flower tortillas as you crust. It’s great! (same temp and cook time)

I've thought about doing this! I should try that sometime. I almost always have some big wraps handy, since I've been making myself a mean Boca Burger wrap when Tiffany is either working late, or has her Kung Fu practice.
