Mouth watering Flat Bread Pizza

The 2 Prickly Pears love-love-love flat bread pizza.

And it is so easy to make your own.  You can find flat breads everywhere now days.  We found them on the bottom shelf just below the deli cases.  There was also Lavash, which is a cracker type crust, as well as thin crusts all designed for homemade pizza.

The topping possibilities are endless when it comes to pizza.  Do you like it loaded?  Do you like it simple?  Or are you somewhere in the middle?

We are all very familiar with the classic toppings on pizza, such as cheese, pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, onions, and peppers.  Some newer, but still familiar, pizza toppings are pineapple, Canadian bacon, and black olives.

Some more exotic toppings are feta cheese, arugula, asparagus, chicken....honestly pizza is a blank canvas that you can design anyway you like.

And what about the sauces?  There was a time when pizza sauce was only one color....red.  Now you see white sauces, especially when you include chicken as a topping.  Have you ever tried pesto as a sauce on your pizza...we love pesto!  Layer it with sliced fresh mozzarella, slices of tomato, and fresh basil.  Drizzle it with a good balsamic vinegar and you have capresse pizza!  Hey!  That sounds too good!

We are offering you today one of our favorite pizzas.  Yes, sometimes we like simple.  Just a few toppings on a flat bread.  It includes lots of garlic and lots of cheese.

3/4 lb hot Italian sausage

1 medium onion, finely chopped

3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped

Mozzarella cheese (as much as you like)*

Parmesan cheese (as much as you like)*

Chipotle sauce (see recipe from earlier post)
Salt

Pepper

Red pepper flakes (if you like it extra spice)

2 flat breads

Set oven to 400 degrees

Saute onions and garlic, do not brown.  Brown sausage and drain. Place the two flat breads on a pizza pan or cookie sheet.  Spread chipotle sauce evenly on bread, leaving about a 1/2 edge.  Spread half of the onion/garlic mixture on each bread.  Spread half the sausage on each bread.  Sprinkle each pizza with salt, pepper, and pepper flakes to suit your taste.  Top both with the two cheeses. *remember that your crust is thin, so too much stuff might be difficult to manage.

Bake for 20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly brown.  Cut up as you see fit and enjoy.  Be Careful!!  It's hot!

Be bold, be inspiration, be inventive and find your own ways to make your pizza.  Go ahead and play with your food!
