  • 1 tbsp (15ml) olive oil
  • 1-1/2 cups (375ml) USA Granny Smith Apples, diced
  • 1 cup (250ml) diced celery
  • 1 cup (250ml) diced onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp (10ml) dried savoury
  • 2 tsp (10ml) chopped fresh rosemary (or 1-1/2 tsp of dried)
  • 1 tsp (5ml) chopped fresh sage (or ½ tsp of dried)
  • 1 low-sodium chicken bouillon cube
  • 600g pizza dough

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Oil and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside.
