TP Note: Yep, I have to say I love Bocconcini too! This is one of my favourite Pizza's. I also add fresh Basil leaves to this Pizza tho & of course accompany with a really nice yummy SALAD (I sometimes substitute the semi-dried tomatoes for fresh cherry/grape tomatoes & I also add black olives to this receipe). Anyways, Bon appetite!- Pie ______________________________________________________________

Cheers, Pie :)
PS: Oh, and I agree with Elroy - Lebanese bread really is a great Pizza base (& cheap) instead of having so much dough to eat which always makes you feel too full & yuk afterwards.
