Everybody Needs a Pizza the Action

Pizza is everywhere. It has become a real mainstay in this country's menu. It is a convenient food that is easy to prepare. There is no mystery to its success and no limit to the power of marketing to keep us dialing the phone for more!

There is much more to pizza than the tomato sauce and cheese versions we see in cardboard boxes. Recently, non-red sauces have been slathered on dough, and chicken is a common offering on those laminated menus of the Hut. Clearly, it is vogue to find flavor in the pizza. The great thing is, I can get all that at home!

I ran across a recipe that called for using pita bread as the crust (saves time) and hummus as the sauce (great mixer on the flavor!).

What I did was simple. Laid out the pita, put 2 TBSP of hummus on the pita,spread like peanut butter on toast. I added some artichoke hearts and kalamata olives. On that went some crumbled feta cheese and halved cherry tomatoes and chopped basil.

I baked it at 450 degreed for 8 minutes or so (let the edges of pita get dark).

Fast and flavorful.
