Italians usually get the credit for inventing pizza, but some people believe that Turkish pide (flatbreads with toppings) may have come first. This recipe is an adaptation of a pizza discovered in a street-side cafe in the Mediterranean coastal city of Antalya.

  • Prepare Whole-Wheat Pizza Dough, if using.

  • On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a 15-by-10-inch oval. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Turn edges under to make a slight rim. Brush the rim with 1 teaspoon oil.

  • Sprinkle cheese over the crust, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Top with tomatoes, onion, jalapeno and pastrami, if using. Season with pepper. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil.

  • Place the baking sheet on the heated pizza stone (or baking sheet) and bake the pizza until the bottom is crisp and golden, 10 to 14 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.

Great alternative I make these for the family dinner as an alternative to frozen or delivery pizza. The kids love making up their own pizza and I opt to leave out the meat. It is very hard being a vegetarian (for health reasons not moral) with children as I believe it is important to have meat in their diet since they are still growing but that adds complexity to preparing dinner. I use Naan bread as the crust. This has become a frequent recipe used in my family and everyone loves it. Read More

Pastrami is NOT vegetarian This is ridiculous! It's bad enough that parmesan and other animal rennet- filled cheeses are included but this recipe has straight up meat. Cons: Meat....on a 'vegetarian' menu Read More
