ZESTY HAM SANDWICH

Zesty Ham Sandwich image

I learned that in Rome and other parts of Italy, pizza simply started out as bread with oil and herbs on it. In some locales, cheese, tomato and grilled meat were added. With the basic original pizza ingredients surrounding me, I was inspired to make a modern version of an ancient food and this recipe was born.-Mara Mcauley, Hinsdale, New York
