What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? The Joy of Eating: Salad and Slice! Now here’s a perfect combo that won’t set you back on the calorie-counter scale. One slice of pizza with a garden salad is a deliciously satisfying portion any time of day or night. Add a Greek peperoncino and a couple of olives for that burst of flavor and you’ll be patting yourself on the back for stirring up that wall of will power. Who says you can’t have your cake (or pizza) and eat it, too?
SALAD AND SLICE
Ingredients Single Serving Pizza:
1/2 cup bread flour
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon active dry yeast
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 cup warm water
Pinch salt
Toppings of your choice
Instructions:
Get the oven warm and then turn it off. This helps the dough to rise. Combine flour, yeast, olive oil, and sugar. Gradually add the warm water and stir. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Knead the dough on a floured surface until it forms a ball. Place the ball in a bowl, cover it loosely with plastic wrap and set it in the warm oven for 30 minutes. It will double in size. Remove from oven, flatten to the size of a plate, and add sauce and desired toppings. Bake on a pizza stone in a 400° oven for 12-15 minutes. Cut into 4 pieces for now and later.
Ingredients for Garden Salad:
1-2 Romaine leaves, gently torn
2 cherry tomatoes, halved
1 teaspoon Parmesan cheese
2-3 crunchy croutons
Garlic Vinegar and Olive Oil, salad dressing
Instructions:
Mix together and serve.
loaded salad and a loaded slice 🙂

Your pizza slice looks too good – I might need two slices! I do the same thing with my dough – get the oven warm, turn off and let the dough rise. Sometimes I will just use the light in the oven…

It seems to swaddle the dough with warmth. 😊

Salad and a pizza is always a great idea.
Of course, you say slice and I say slices . . but we can agree to disagree tastefully. 😉
