This is my first Project Pastry Queen post in a long while. I blame the hectic schedule, with weddings, birthdays, vacations and work all getting in the way. I made it back just in time for Alice of This Home Plate's choice for the week, Caesar Salad Pizza. A light, from-scratch Caesar salad dressing, tossed with crispy romaine lettuce and juicy tomatoes, all piled on top of a Parmesean-crusted pizza bread.
The recipe calls for the addition of red pepper flakes into the pizza dough, giving it an extra bit of flavor and spice. The dough was still on the bland side for me - I would add some more honey, salt and dried herbs next time. My favorite part of the dish was the melted Parmesean cheese bubbling on the tops of the pizza rounds. The saltiness of the cheese saved the bread from being too plain. I sous-vided some chicken breasts to serve alongside the salad for protein.
Overall, a decent Friday night dinner dish. For two people however, it was way too much work. The pizza dough toughens significantly after it cools so leftovers aren't quite as appealing either. Guess I will just have to make a trip to Rather Sweet for my next Caesar Salad Pizza!
I actually skipped the pizza dough part all together :) Your pizzas do look great!
