Asian-Spiced Cashew-Chicken Piadinis

Recipe submitted by Brett Youmans from Reading, Pa. for Bake-Off® Contest 44, 2010. Use refrigerated pizza crust in an Italian flatbread appetizer overflowing with wonderful Asian flavors and you have wonderful and an interesting depth of flavors. :) The second time we served these piadinis - we made a dipping sauce out of apricot preserves, low-sodium tamari & crushed red pepper flakes - we had to slice them for the resdent's so we made it an experience with the dipping sauce. We only do this in the cooking club where our alert citizens go & see what surpirse we have for them. ;)
