Martha Stewart’s Vegetarian Matzo Pizza

I kid you not, this tastes like normal, dough made from flour, pizza. I too was shocked! Of course this isn’t going to taste like your Chicago deep-dish kind of pizza but for those of you (like me) who enjoy a thin, Italian-style crust, this pizza is for you.

Somehow the tomato sauce helps soften the matzo so that while it bakes (even without a baking sheet!) it softens a bit. This means it won’t crumble in your hands when you pick it up. It is a wonderful lunch-time meal or great for snack-time. It is perfect for the week of #Passover.

Also, you could add whatever vegetables you have around the house–no legumes/beans though to stay Kosher for Passover. This was a fulfilling recipe and I would highly recommend it!

    What can I say besides-amazing! I would never have thought of this, but I think it is a darn good idea!

      It is SO good. A great way to use up old matzo too.

    Sounds like with that kind of crust you may even be able to cut it up in small squares for a appetizer if need be. Looks yummy!
