Pesto Flat Bread Pizza With Sweet Italian Sausage

Recommended Posts

Howdy Again KKers!

 

Last night SWMBOI and I were tired at the end of the day.  I was looking for something quick, easy, and light.  We have a favorite restaurant very near our home here in OKC, Charleston's, and they do a killer flat bread pizza.  SWMBOI has been after me to duplicate it and I had the materials on hand, so, what the heck, why not?

 

So here we go. Lit a fire in the belly of TheBeast and got him up to about 425.

I bought some Momma Mary's thin and crispy pizza flats at the store.  Here it is on the peel ...

I whipped up some pesto in the food processor and spread it on the pizza flat ...

Added some mozzarella cheese and Roma tomatoes sliced so thin they only had one side ...

Then the sweet Italian sausage went on top to complete the flat bread pizza pie ...

Total time to cook was only about 9 minutes at 425F and here's the finished pesto flat bread pizza with sweet Italian sausage ...

As you can see, this was a very formal dinner where I use my best china and stemware!   rolling.gif

 

When all was said and done, this was a wonderful cook.  Next time, I think I would add a few sliced ripe olives.  You can also use chicken, beef, etc.  I'm also going to add a few jalapeños to the next pie.  This was a simple, easy and delicious cook that took very little time and was wonderfully tasty without much work at all.  

 

Thanks for looking in.

Having pizza for supper tonight, but not at home. Mellow Mushroom is having a tap takeover by Surly Brewing, so that's where I'm headed in about an hour!  :pint:

 

Tony!  sounds like the brewskis will be flowing!  So let me see if I understand ... pizza is an appiteaser for the main course ... beer!?  I like how you roll!

Thanks, CC. And, "how I roll" is more correct than you think! Had to waddle out of the place!  :laughing5:

 

Great beers and damned tasty pizza, too! $2.50 pints for seriously good beers - can't go wrong there! They plan on making this a regular Wednesday night special - woo, hoo!  :occasion9:
