Crispy homemade pizza dough topped with balsamic and olive oil tomatoes, fresh basil and balsamic glaze! All the flavors of bruschetta on Bruschetta Pizza!
Today I am sharing with you one of the best things, something which I can never get tired of eating! Bruschetta – a delicious combination of tangy and salty with freshly chopped tomatoes, fresh basil leaves, extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, sauteed garlic, salt and pepper. This won’t seem to be much but it sure makes one delicious appetizer which once you taste, I am sure you can ‘t stop eating!
I love eating bruschetta in summer but few days back when I saw our favorite pizza shop in downtown selling bruschetta pizza, I knew I was getting it. I was really impressed as even though it was freezing outside, a warm pizza crust with bubbling hot cheese topped with fresh tomato & basil mix made it such a comforting cold weather food!
I knew I had to make it and that too soon because I have a tendency to forget. I made this for us for a cozy pizza night dinner and it turned out fantastic! We are all ready to leave for holiday trip and this year we have picked a very unconventional spot which is not at all Christmasy because well let’s be honest what can be better than to be in Colorado for Christmas! So instead of celebrating Christmas at home, this year we decided to take a family trip to Vegas! I know how unconventional. I had the same feeling initially but then when I saw what all they do for Christmas, I knew I wanted to experience it atleast once!
So leaving you with this pizza!
Hope you are in full holiday spirit!! Wishing you lots of cookies, hugs and laughter with loved ones!! xoxo
