"A pizza pie is made with dough and then we throw it...into the air.
Into the air!
Yeay! Soon, we'll add some sauce, and then some cheeses...and then we bake!
Just like a cake!
Yummy, yummy, that's a pizza pie!
Yummy, yummy, you toss me in the sky!
A pizza pie is very nice;
It's good to eat them by the slice!
Yummy, yummy, yum.
Baking pizza's so much fun!"
*that's the Elmo pizza song for all of you non-mothers*
My darling daughters and I made some home-made pizzas last night. They were super easy, mega fun, and exploding with robust flavor. Not really, but hey, keep reading anyways. I'll give you the how-to in case you and your punks want to make some brilliant Italian-cafe style biscuit pizzas (haha on the Italian-cafe style). But, honestly, they are affordable (cheap is such an ugly word), fun to make, and pretty tasty. Plus clean up is almost non-existent! Yippy! More time to do laundry or clean toilets.
Here are the items needed for your "pizza pie" (please note I'm a Great Value buyer. Same thing + lower price = super savings!)
(canned biscuits ("grand" ones are good, no butter flavored, get just PLAIN or Homestyle), pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni minis, or you could do hamburger or sausage or whatever toppings you wish. With older, less picky kids you can be really creative: pineapple, peppers, mushrooms, onions, etc.)
My daughters are simple. Cheese + pepperoni = YUMMY
First step: Bang your biscuit can as hard as you can against whatever surface you choose. Countertops work wonderfully. Make sure small children are out of the kitchen. Hopefully the can will slightly explode allowing the biscuits to escape. If not, throw the can away and call Pizza Hut.
No pic available here. I couldn't "bang" and "click" at the same time.
Second step: Separate your biscuits and place one on a plate. Roll them with a rolling pin, or if you lack such fancy household items, you can do what I did and smash it real good and flat with a spatula.
Next, spoon some pizza sauce onto your nicely smashed biscuit crust...
Add the cheeeeeese pleeeeeese...
Add your pepperoni or whatever topping you have chosen...
Transfer to cookie sheet (non-stick or spray with non-stick spray). Cook at whatever temp the biscuit can calls for and for around the time + or - a few minutes. Just watch them. When the cheese is melted through and your biscuit crust is good and golden - they're done! Remove, let cool slightly, and devour.
Here's one of the final products. This is pre-oven. Post-oven pics are not available - hungry mouths devoured the beautiful products before good ole' Mom could grab her Sony.
Sorry... blame my nerds.
Here's the wonderfully creative chefs behind this Italian masterpiece...
Hope your pizza pie creations are just as drool-worthy as our's were. If they aren't, I hope you don't have my number.
