This is something innovative I thought about and started making with mom during my high school vacation. What started out as a simple Idea turned out to be a very successful recipe which caters to our tastes.

I feel that it can be very customizable and quick to make. All you need to do is put the Ciabatta bread or Texas toast in the oven for 1.5-2 minutes for a tough toasted surface, spread some pizza sauce, load it up with your favorite cheese, veggies, fruits (pineapple), and meats, and finally bake it for 7-8 minutes. I recommend you limit to 4 toppings though. My favorite so far is the spicy 4 pepper which contains pepper jack cheese, red pepper, green pepper, bananna peppers, and jalapenos.

Have any of you on this forum tried this out. What I am saying is true, and I am not advertising. In fact, me & mom just finished making a batch and eating it with our family for Friday night dinner. Tonight it was mozzarella cheese with black olives, onions, jalapenos, and sun dried tomatoes .

I am planning to make a dessert version of this pizza, but this might require a different type of bread. Do any of you know about the best kind of bread to make dessert pizza on. I would like something as tough as Ciabatta with a hint of sweetness. Most probably will want to make it with apples, yellow pear, almonds, milk chocolate, and cream cheese. Haven't figured out a recipe though.

I hate to break it to you, but it's hardly innovative.
People have been doing it for years.

Yeah, at that time I thought it was. Oh well, at least I learned how to make something quick and tasty. Still enjoy it.

Another one of my favs is doritos in quesedillas. Chunky chip crunch=yum .

NO.

Jesus Christ people have become so disconnected from their food any food sources.


This isn't pizza, its a bastardization.


Go buy tomatoes at the store. Blanche them to peel off the skins and then boil them down into a sauce. make you dough with yeast, sugar, flour, and water. Assemble pizza (with cheese).



If I want to make an American style "PIZZA" I'll butter a cast iron skillet, line with yeast rising flour. cook for 10 min, fill with sauce cheese, etc , cook, and then eat like a chi town pizza.

I'm just an American, but I think a dough might work better than flour.

And, while we're on the subject, naan bread makes a great pizza .

I was going to suggest naan bread; I love the stuff.

I suppose it's not exactly pizza, but we've done this and it's really good. Can be browned in a little oil first. Then add fresh tomatoes or tomato sauce, pesto, any toppings you want, generous dollops of cheese, broil, yum.

We make English muffin pizzas for lunch sometimes. I wouldn't use Texas toast, but some split ciabatta rolls would probably be excellent. I would not toast the bread first.

I have used Naan Bread to make pizza and it has turned out OK.

Although, Naan deserves a different degree of respect in my opinion. I would help mom make stuffed paratha or kulchas from Naan with sides which include Aloo dum, PBM (Paneer Butter Masala), Mattar Paneer, Vegetable Jalferazi, Gobi Manchurian subzi, Palak, paneer, and so much more (In fact, I know over 50 different sides that can be used). I am of South Indian Descent and do buy naan occasionally (though staple food is rice, pulses and veggies).

Naan has an acquired taste for my Indian tongue. Perhaps the same is true with other breads as well.

You're making me hungry!
I spent a lot of early years in the UK and grew to love Indian cuisine. If I could only pick one type of cuisine for the rest of my life, it would be Indian. I cook it fairly often.

I recognise each of the dishes you mentioned except kulcha....aha, it's a different type of flat bread.
