A delicious take on the usual sun-dried tomato tapenade but don't be tempted to use California sundried tomatoes because they are too sweet. I've never actually had the patience to chill this and always end up serving it right away. It's a huge hit! Serve with your favorite crackers.

Detroit-Style Pizza
Try this Detroit-style pizza recipe the next time you want a crunchy, crispy, cheese-laden slice! Detroit-style pizza is often referred to as a deep-dish pizza, but I don't think that accurately captures the essence of this crispy, crusty, crazy-good pizza. It has the flavor elements of a slightly charred thin-crust pizza and the texture of a light and airy focaccia. If you use a properly shaped pan, the edges of your crust get wonderfully crunchy, making for a truly unique experience.
