  1. Although i did like this recipe, it was way too salty for us. I didn't add the extra salt so maybe i'll have to try it again using "spek" instead of bacon, and less of it. Thanks anyway for a good idea using the dough and sour cream.
     
  2. Excellent! Made my own dough and made as posted and wouldn't change a thing. Loved the topping - the chopped chives fresh from the garden a perfect garnish. Definitely a repeatable!
     
  3. This was amazing. I used Rhoads pizza dough and garnished with green onions. I was a little worried about the sour cream but it was so wonderful with the cheese and onions. The flavors were a perfect balance. I made this for ZWT 4 and it will be in regular rotation.

I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages! I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure. So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call. What did I do wrong? Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths. I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time. That's all for now.
