The Butterfly:
Dinner-Homemade pizza with sausage, pepperoni, red bell peppers, mushrooms, mozzarella cheese, homemade sauce and an olive oil, herb and parmesan brushed crust. I may never eat another eat another pizza out again. yum.
That sounds yummy! I can't even remember when it was the last time I made homemade pizza... But can you explain this parmesan brushed crust? Do you mean like filled with parmesan inside the crust of the pizza?

My son likes stuffed crust pizzas I lean more toward that they are an abomination. :D After we shaped our pizza dough on the baking tray we brushed an olive oil, garlic, herb, spice mixture over the rim of the dough (what shows after baking) and then dusted that part with grated parmesan. Then we put on the fillings in the middle of the pizza. I should add that I sauté my veggies for a couple of minutes to not make them squishy but to soften them up a little and it adds the most wonderful flavor to the pizza. Back to the crust, the recipe we used this time has a tendency to really rise and the rim rose up thicker than we would normally make it, but the mistake turned out tasty. The crust was soft and bread like on the inside and the outside was flavorful and crisp with the seasonings and parm coating and the middle had a beautiful golden bottom without being soggy.
It was really good but I think we are having vegetable and fruit smoothies today for lunch to balance things out. ;)
While I'm here @JOANNESMITH-how did your Korean pastry research go?
Re: Lemon Chickpea Soup
A bunch of the recipes I saw on line called for oregano so that's the herb I used and I did use cornstarch for the thickener. I don't have a pressure cooker so I just used a regular pot. My husband loved this soup. It was even better the next day!
I love rosemary. I'll have to use it next time. :)
