- Do I eat the lemon slice?
- If you sliced it paper-thin and it baked, yes! The rind becomes crispy and the flesh jammy. If thick, it's more of a garnish.
Zesty Lemon & Rosemary White Pizza
Similar to other lemon recipes, but here rosemary dominates, evoking the rocky coasts of Sicily. The essential oils of lemon and rosemary mingle in the oven heat, creating a piney-citrus aroma cloud. This is a minimalist pizza where every ingredient must be perfect.
