Food For Idiots 101: Flatbread Pizza

I believe it was former President George Walker Bush who said "If you're American and don't like Pizza, the terrorists win." I was never much of a Bush supporter, but I have to agree with him on this one.

Pizza = Freedom!

Pizza also goes hand-in-hand with our national past time, baseball  football. Nothing beats a good Pie, cold beer and comfy couch for Game Day. Having said that, I would like to introduce you to the best flat bread recipe in all of the land. How do I know it's the best flat bread recipe? I stole it. *Note, if you don't have a mixer, you're shit out of luck - call Dominos.
