It was the sugar that made it extra special as a pizza topping, as well as helping the tomatoes caramelize.<br /><br />********<br />Debiclegg, The first thing I do, when I come into the kitchen in the morning, is open the curtain and look at the morning glories. I just love them, and the color of blue is just gorgeous. Then I pour a cup of coffee and just sit and look at them! This morning there was a squirrel up on top, and I kept seeing this tail twitching and wagging back and forth. He did that for the longest time, then he moved into view and I swear, he was smelling the flowers! He just sat on top of the fence and buried his face in a flower, and it wasn't eaten or chewed up at all.<br /><br />********<br />Kelly, it was such a "duh" moment! Or maybe it was a senior moment ;-)<br /><br />********<br />Meemsnyc, I never even thought of foccacia! That would have been the smart thing to do. <br /><br />I could see cucumbers growing up the trellises, too.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-29012555334663586442010-09-30T17:18:10.200-07:002010-09-30T17:18:10.200-07:00Oh no!

Everything else is just the same. I just made it into a big ball and slashed the top, let it rise, put a pan of water on the bottom shelf of the oven and baked it as bread. I didn't find it as chewy and crusty as I like, I prefer a crusty French bread. It made good toast for breakfast, though.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-29734684927085873482010-09-29T20:59:02.842-07:002010-09-29T20:59:02.842-07:00The original pizzas had no mozarrella or other che...The original pizzas had no mozarrella or other cheese at all. one was just with tomatoes, oil and herbs. <br /><br />http://whatscookingamerica.net/History/Pizza/PizzaHistory.htm<br /><br />when i visited italy, they were square! and no Pizza hut are going back to square pizza.<br /><br />how the world changes through the years!<br /><br />bocconcini is a nice change to mozarella too!SydneyGardenernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-16523624510053910362010-09-29T20:50:28.887-07:002010-09-29T20:50:28.887-07:00What, no pictures of this wonderful pizza??

So far, I've only made homemade pizza with pesto sauce, as we have basil coming out of our ears. I'll try my hand at tomato pizza sauce when I grow enough tomatoes next year.<br /><br />I also didn't realize you could turn pizza dough into Italian bread. Hmm, maybe I'll experiment more with bread baking when there's less garden work to do over the winter.thyme2gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06512569281844698265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-35545857882288049032010-09-29T18:42:14.604-07:002010-09-29T18:42:14.604-07:00Daphne, I'm not much of a cheese lover, but I ...Daphne, I'm not much of a cheese lover, but I adore hot, melty mozarella.

I just have to remember to take some to Arizona with me!<br /><br />I'm trying to get Mr. Granny to go after a bale of straw so I can protect some of the garden stuff, like rosemary and carrots. He's trying to get me to use the rabbit hay, and just doesn't understand it would be full of seeds and make a big mess of next years garden beds.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-74095628229647869772010-09-29T18:35:12.907-07:002010-09-29T18:35:12.907-07:00We over wintered some carrots last year but they l...We over wintered some carrots last year but they looked all funky!<br /><br />Your sauce sounds awesome!
