Broccoli Flower Pizza - don't try this at home

Being happy on a sunny Sunday, and puttering about the house, I had an idea for making some lunch at home using ingredients on hand. Now how else to use those broccoli flowers, I mused. I had used them in a salad previously. I spied a nice bag of whole wheat pizza dough from Trader Joe's in the refrigerator, and an idea was born.


Soon I was popping the broccoli flower pizza in the oven.


And about 10 minutes later, I was taking it out. Well, I rather suspected that the flowers would melt into the cheese.


But what I didn't expect was that the stems would be so WOODY. A pizza that provides it's own toothpicks! Ah, well so goes being creative sometimes. Luckily, I included some tempeh 'bacon' so taking the toothpicks off yielded a tasty pizza anyway.
