100% would make again

This sort of inside-out pizza is something I concocted one evening when I had leftover baked ham and needed to fix something quick and simple. My husband loved it—so did all his friends when he took some to work for lunch. Our son's a year old. I enjoy baking and crafts...and each issue of CW!
