  1. Enjoyed the flavor combination but was surprised how much moisture came off the tomatoes and onions. Actually dripped off the pizza stone into the oven. Was too much for homemade dough, would be better suited for a prepared crust.
     
  2. Perfect in it's simplicity!! Made mine on the grill. Used a combination of fresh mozarella and dried mozarella.
     
  3. Very good. This was helpful as I have a crust I like using, and just having the topping recipe makes it simple. I did not use onions this time, but look forward to using them next time. I think it would add to the flavor.
     
  4. Yum Yum YUM! I don't care for onions so left them out, otherwise made as directed. I used a thin Boboli crust and fresh basil. I loved the addition of the crushed red pepper flakes; I usually sprinkle some on pizza that I order out anyway so having it cooked right on the pizza was perfect for me. Loved this - thanks for sharing your recipe!
     
  5. This made for a wonderful topping on my home made thick crust pizza. Had been looking for a good recipe for a vegetable and cheese pizza - this is the one for us! Made as posted and enjoyed every bite. A Auz/NZ Swap recipenap.

<p>My name is Rebecca, but my family and friends call me Becky. I am&nbsp;33 years old and live in Rochester, New York, USA. I am a life-long resident of Western New York and can't say as I'd ever want to live anywhere else. I grew up on a small dairy farm in rural Western New York and love country living. Although my husband and I live in a suburb right now, we hope someday to move back to our roots and live a peaceful country life. <br /><br />My husband and I have been married for 10 years.&nbsp; We have a beautiful 5-year-old&nbsp;daughter and a 3-year-old&nbsp;son.&nbsp;&nbsp;I am amazed at how quickly our kids are&nbsp;growing and developing.&nbsp; I read a lot about and hold my own personal skepticism regarding the affects of additives such as&nbsp;preservatives,&nbsp;hormones, artificial colorings, artificial sweeteners, caffeine, allergens, etc.&nbsp; With the increasing number of children and adults with food allergies, I am suspicious that the last century&nbsp;of our nation's food industry improvements have contributed.&nbsp; I'm doing the best I can to protect my family&nbsp;from the risks, but it is difficult to avoid every additive.&nbsp; I have friends and family with food allergies and know how difficult it is to cope with food restrictions. I enjoy the challenge of&nbsp;cooking for those with food allergies but can't imagine making it an every-day affair.</p> 8727502"
