We’re having another winter storm tonight, so I decided to do another Storm Pizza, a new winter tradition. I see the pizzas as a healthy meal – whole grain crust and fresh, healthy toppings.

So tonight, a Veggie Pizza, warming up for the Spring.  I don’t think I’ll do many pizzas in the summer, too heavy a meal for then. But on this cold and stormy night, it was a blessing.

Ingredients:

One multi-grain dough, from the supermarket.

(Rolled it in wheat flour,

had cornmeal on the plate beneath the crust.)

Marinara sauce.

Grated parmesan cheese over the sauce lightly.

Garlic past spread on the dough.

Sliced sweet potato, pre-cooked at 475 degrees for eight minutes.

Sliced squash.

Spinach leaves.

Kale, and Kale Sprouts.

Red pepper bits for color and flavor.

Chopped scallion (not a lot)

Baked the crust first, 10 minutes at 475 degrees,

until the crust was crisp.

Rim brushed with virgin olive oil.

Then spread the sauce, sprinkled the cheese, and laid out the potatoes first, the squash on the inner ring, spread the broccoli bits around and then placed a spinach leaf over the potatoes and squash, placed the red pepper chunks where there were empty spaces.

I brushed olive oil around the rim.

Baked the pie for 11 minutes.

We were happy with it, the Storm Pizza is a great way to mark a nasty snow and ice storm.
