BLACKBERRY BASIL &
RICOTTA PIZZA
In foodie friend circles, there is a
persnickety debate about the difference
between pizza and flatbread. We hate to
get caught up in the nuances that separate
these two cuisines, so we will cut right to
the chase. Both involve a bread base, cheese,
and a wide range of toppings, including
both sweet and savory options. However,
flatbread is thinner, crispier and rectangular
in shape with a lighter fanfare of toppings
than pizza. According to some, even thin-
crust pizza should be thicker and chewier
than flatbread, which should have a much
more crusty, crumbly texture.
Despite the subtle differences, one thing
is for sure -both pizza and flatbread
are delicious and perfect for summer
entertaining or a great dinner option for the
family. Enjoy a few of my favorite recipes
but remember, flatbread or pizza can be as
simple or creative as you want… let your
imagination be your guide.
Now go on… get cooking!
