Sweet Potato & Prosciutto with Roasted Garlic Spread

Tonight's pizza is brought to you by :

ROASTED GARLIC

In preparation, I roasted an enormous garlic bulb. I didn't think to get a picture of it before turning it into a spread however. You can kind of make it out in this picture :

Roasted garlic spread with sweet potato

I let the sweet potato slices sit in spicy olive oil while the garlic was roasting, hope that will give them a bit of a 'kick'.
And then some feta....


... and spinach...

Smoked prosciutto

Parmesan sprinkled liberally

Alan found this pizza a little dry, we'll add mozzarella next time! Still, very delicious flavours - not too garlic-y, nice spice to the potatoes, and smoked prosciutto is always a good choice :-)

BASIIIILLL!!!

Don't mention the war.
Tonight's exciting pizza experience included a staple herb of Italian cuisine... you guessed it, basil. We do have a basil plant furiously trying to grow into something substantial on our front porch, but until it does, we're using what we get in our Taproot share. Seems to work nicely enough!
Basil and garlic butter. Man, we could almost slap some cheese on here and call it a day.
But no, we like lots of stuff on our pizzas.
The onions were a last minute. I insisted. She relented. All was right with the world.
And voila! The finished product!
A thing of glory.
And a very successful pizza adventure it was, too. Very excited for the next one!
The pizza's afoot!
