- When needed, roll each ball into a circle 1/4" thick.
- Brush with olive oil and season with salt, then bake on a preheated pizza stone in a 500° oven until golden and slightly charred.
- Cut into quarters and top with the salad.
- For the salad: Put the lettuces and basil in a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt, drizzle with olive oil, and then lemon juice.
- Toss gently but thoroughly, and mound neatly on top of each pizza crust. Sprinkle with the togarishi and serve while the crust is still warm.

I like to cook. I also like to breathe, look at myself in the mirror, and eat small vegetables. I work as a parsnip in my spare time and covet the cool side of the pillow.
