Cranberries, brie and leeks balance this filling and easy to bake flatbread perfect for an evening of entertaining or paired with a salad as a quick dinner for two. I’m going to go ahead and make a quick confession here: sometimes I go to Whole Foods and I don’t buy anything. Yes, you’re reading this correctly. I window shop at Whole Foods. Just like some people go to department stores, try on a sweater and check back online every few days to see if its gone on sale, I go to the grocery store, cruise the prepared food section for ideas and file them away in the notes section of my iPhone until I’m ready to make something nicer than the yogurt and pretzel sticks that I had for dinner tonight. Last week, I was doing just this when I spotted a new shelf of ready-to-bake flatbread next to the pizza counter at my neighborhood Whole Foods.

Back then, pizza was made from yeast bread dough and tomatoes, later to be topped with mozzarella cheese, basil and extra-virgin olive oil. Today, Domino’s Deep Dish crust is made from: Enriched Flour (Wheat Flour, Niacin, Iron, Thiamine Mononitrate, Riboflavin Folic Acid), Water, Malt, Sugar, Whey, Malted Barley Flour, Yeast, Soybean Oil. Zzesty Blend: Butter Flavored Oil (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Soy Lecithin, Artificial And Natural Butter Flavoring, Vitamin A Palmitate And Beta-Carotene for Color), Imitation Parmesan Cheese (Water, Modified Food Starch, Casein And Or Caseinate, Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Cellulose Powder, Salt, Sodium Phosphates, Stabilizers [Mono […]
