This recipe has opened our eyes to how flavorful swiss chard can be and I am sure that it has replaced spinach in our household! Thanks for the great recipe.

My family wanted seconds, even my almost 2-year old.<br />This recipe was a life saver because I'm tried to rein in my food budget, especially now that it's the end of the month and almost all spent, and I'm a newby at eating swiss chard. This is my first year growing it as well as cooking it, and this recipe was great. I love what I'm seeing on your website and will be visiting more often. I found it by googling "pizza with swiss chard."

I think it just depends on the person - I don't have any problems like that when I eat chard either cooked or raw. You might try eating the younger leaves, though it may not make a difference.

A million years ago (30+) I worked at Chez Panisse, occasionally an Escarole, Fontina & Nicoise Olive Pizza would come round on the lunch menu - an epiphany, an inspiration. Of all the wonderful food I first experienced there, the green pizza remains the keystone. We sauteed the escarole w olive oil, & finished w red wine vinegar, salt & lots of pepper - darn tasty by itself but on the dough, garlic & red onions...Farmgirl, your sounds like a great step forward.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-35177880326631247242009-01-24T14:44:00.000-06:002009-01-24T14:44:00.000-06:00Hi Everybody,Thanks for your comments.

It really is delicious. : )</B><BR/><BR/><B>Hi Sharon,</B><BR/>The critters are fine but a little chilly. We did lose <A HREF="http://foodiefarmgirl.blogspot.com/2008/02/farm-photo-2408-saturday-was-snow-day.html" REL="nofollow"><B>our dear sweet ewe Doris</B></A> last week, but she was 12 years old and had a wonderful life - and she gobbled up a little grain even on her very last day. And although she usually had ram lambs, she did give us two of our best young ewes who have already proven to be great mothers and will hopefully each have a lamb this spring. : )<BR/><BR/>As for when we'll be moving into <A HREF="http://foodiefarmgirl.blogspot.com/2007/12/building-our-bread-bakery-recipe.html" REL="nofollow"><B>the new building</B></A> - who knows. Right now we're trying to figure out where leak #4 in the new plumbing (which is already behind finished and painted sheetrock - don't ask) is located. Talk about frustrating!<BR/><BR/><B>Hi Anneliese,</B><BR/>How to keep rising bread dough warm in chilly houses? That's a good question. Beth and I really need to do a whole post about how to keep your bread dough warm in winter over on <A HREF="http://ayearinbread.com" REL="nofollow"><B>A Year in Bread</B></A> so that all the tips we've collected over the years are in one convenient place (now that the one I had partly written about keeping it cool in summer is a little out of date!).<BR/><BR/>Until then, a couple of things you can do are:<BR/><BR/>--start with warmer milk/water (but not too hot that you kill the yeast - I wouldn't go above 100 degrees at the most) so that your dough starts out at a warmer temperature than the room<BR/>--try to find a warm spot in your house, such as near a heater vent or on top of the refrigerator<BR/>--let your dough rise in the oven with the oven light on<BR/><BR/>I used to always let my doughs rise in my gas oven with just the pilot light on because it was the perfect constant temperature, but that was an oven from the 1950s - nowadays gas ovens have electric starts and safety features, and the pilot light isn't always on.<BR/><BR/>I know some people turn the oven on and let it heat up a little bit and then turn it off before setting the dough in there to rise. The insulated oven will retain heat for a while, and you really only need it to be between 70 and 75 degrees F.<BR/><BR/>Remember, too, that the best breads are made with a long, slow rise. Your dough will rise fine at 60 (or even 50) degrees - it will take longer than at 75 degrees, but the final result will have a better texture and flavor. Hope this helps. Happy baking! : )<BR/><BR/><B>Finny,</B><BR/>You always crack me up. I love that you're scared of your own vegetables.
