Rueben Flatbread Pizza

4/21/2015

Last week, we visited our older daughter at Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota.  On Saturday night, after she left us to head back to her dorm, we stopped to have a drink at the Tavern in the Archer House, a terrific place to sit and have good conversation with others.

The bartender ordered the special pizza of the day.  It looked good.  I asked what it was.  “A Rueben flatbread pizza,” she answered, offering me a piece, with I rapidly consumed despite having just finished dinner and an ice cream cone while sitting in the park down the street.

The pizza was so good that I had to make it.  It’s very simple.  Last night we enjoyed my version.  Here’s how it goes:

You’ll need some thinly cut pastrami, swiss cheese, sauerkraut, a white onion, tomato, Thousand Island dressing, Mozzarella cheese and a pizza pie (I bought a pre-made one).

Lightly brush the pizza pie crust with olive oil.  Heat it in a skillet so it is lightly browned.  Preheat the oven to 450.

Coat the crust with the Thousand Island dressing (cover the dough, but not thickly).  Layer the onions, sauerkraut and onions to your taste.  I separated the pizza in half and added more of the sauerkraut and onions to my half, leaving the other side open for my wife and our younger daughter.

Slice the tomato  and put it on your mix, then cover that with the pastrami, grated Mozzarella and the sliced Swiss (you can do grated or sliced).  Place in oven.  Check in eight minutes.  We left it in for 10 minutes and it was about right.

Victory.  It’s hard to get a thumbs up from everyone in our family, but this one came out a winner.  Remember you can personalize to your family’s taste buds, so experiment with the best ingredients, but the core is the cheeses and pastrami.   Enjoy.
