White Pizza By Naomi Nachman
My family loves pizza! Then again, what’s not to love, especially when you make it yourself? This
dough recipe is quick and easy to make so you can throw together homemade pizza at the drop of a
hat. It is one of the most popular recipes in my book Perfect Flavors. When I make pizza, I try to come up with interesting toppings. I recently made this one
for my family, even though I wasn’t sure if they would like a tomato-less pizza. Amazingly,
it was a huge hit and now I have gotten them to try all kinds of assorted topping, sauces, and vegetables on their pizza. (BTW, Australians love pineapple on their pizza.)
The recipe makes one 12-inch pie, which usually comes out to four servings.
