Western Family Fancy Pizza Blend
What it is
This is a dried herb blend specifically curated for pizza. It contains a mix of common pizza seasonings, often including oregano, basil, thyme, and rosemary. The herbs are dried and finely chopped, making them easy to sprinkle over pizza dough and toppings. This blend offers a convenient way to add a classic Italian flavor profile to homemade pizzas without needing to measure out individual herbs.
How people cook with it
This herb blend is a simple way to enhance the flavor of your favorite pizzas. It can also be used to season other Italian-inspired dishes.
- Sprinkle on pizza dough before baking
- Add to tomato sauces
- Season garlic bread
- Mix into salad dressings
Before baking your pizza, evenly sprinkle the Fancy Pizza Blend over the tomato sauce and cheese. You can also add it to the pizza dough itself for an extra layer of flavor. For a more intense taste, lightly toast the herbs in a dry pan for a minute before sprinkling. This blend is also excellent stirred into marinara sauce for pasta or used to season calzones and stromboli. It can even be incorporated into breadcrumb coatings for baked chicken or fish.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to using individual dried herbs, this blend offers a pre-balanced flavor. It ensures a consistent taste profile without the need to purchase and store multiple small jars. The specific combination of herbs is designed to complement the typical ingredients found on a pizza.
Who it is for
Home cooks who enjoy making pizza at home will find this blend useful.
How to keep the rest
Keep the remaining herb blend in its original container with the lid tightly sealed. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. This will help preserve the aroma and flavor of the herbs for future use.
