My parents tasted it and thought it was delicious!!! Will definitely make it again.
Looked gorgeous! Improvised with prepared with refrigerated pizza dough from the grocery store. Seems like it was missing something in the flavor dept. Garlic maybe???
I made this and was surprised how good it is. This was my first taste of artichoks and I loved them. For the dough, I cheated, well, in a way I did. I bought some frozen whole wheat bread dough from the grocery store and thawed it out in fridge, let it rise and followed the rest of the directions. I am on a strict time restraint and didn't have the time to make fresh dough. It worked out well and was still tastey.
Amy, try King Arthur Flour's website. They have a blog for bakers and a great recipe search. Also a new white whole wheat flour and tips for using it. It's really all wheat, just a different kind of wheat from the semolina/ durham type. Tastes great!
HI AMY: JUST FOUND THIS TODAY, SO DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE HAS ANSWERED OR NOT? you might try going up to the top of this page and in the SEARCH type in Figgs Pizza Dough with Todd, that has to be close to the one your are looking for.
