Step 1: Prep Pizza Dough
Start with Pillsbury™ Classic Mini Pizza Crusts as a base. Remove dough from can, and press into 6-inch rounds on two greased cookie sheets.
Step 2: Add Sauce
Spread one tablespoon of a tomato-based pizza sauce or a creamy, white Alfredo sauce onto each dough round. Don’t love sauce? Try brushing with olive oil instead!
Step 3: Choose Your Cheese
Sprinkle 1/4 cup of your favorite shredded cheese over your sauce layer. Melty cheeses like mozzarella, pizza blend or Colby-Jack work best, but feel free to use some shredded cheddar or Parmesan for added flavor!
Step 4: Time For Toppings
Top each with your favorite pizza toppings! We recommend anywhere from two tablespoons to 1/3 cup of your go-to fix-ins. Try sliced or mini pepperoni, Canadian or regular bacon, cooked chicken, ground beef or Italian sausage, onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, olives, tomato, and spinach. Once your toppings are added it's time for your pizza to hit the oven. Bake to perfection then add your favorite fresh herbs, seasonings, or sauces for even more flavor. Try basil, oregano, Italian seasoning, crushed red chili flakes, BBQ sauce, Buffalo sauce, Sriracha, or Ranch dressing!
