Strawberry Pizza

 Strawberries are at the height of  the season....  Some are eaten  fresh  no adornment , some as strawberry shortcake with lots of whipped cream .....  for something a bit different decided to try pizza. This recipe came from a  local strawberry grower..... It is quick and easy and of course yummy.  The crust is similar to shortbread. Seems a hit with grandchildren.
 Crust:
1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/3 cup bown sugar
3 TBSP. icing sugar
