Double Flipper Pizza

base, put, oven

We used Lavish bread as a base for this gourmet pizza.

I have also used pita breads and flat breads of many other ethnic origins, ie. chapattis, tortillas, etc. with great success.

The only rule I abide by is that it must form a base that is strong enough to support the ingredients in a manner that doesn't fold, sag or limp out.

The children in my class designed this double flipper (folded lavish bread) so that it complied with my predilection - the lavish bread can be used in duplicate to give it strength.

*Tip* The base can be put into a hot oven to 'crisp' prior to adding the ingredients - however, don't' apply so much heat that the base becomes brittle and 'breaks.'
