Ingredients

  • 1 loaf frozen bread dough
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheese
  • favorite pizza toppings (such as pepperoni, cooked sausage, bacon, olives, mushrooms, green peppers, pineapple or cooked vegetables)

Instructions

  1. Let bread dough thaw until pliable.
  2. Divide into 6 pieces. Pat each piece on a floured board into circles 4 or 5 inches in diameter.
  3. Place the dough circles onto a greased baking sheet.
  4. Top with pizza sauce and shredded cheese.
  5. Add desired toppings such as pepperoni, sausage, olives, or vegetables.
  6. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes at 425°F until golden and bubbly.

Tips & Substitutions

For easier handling, let the frozen bread dough thaw overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature for a few hours. If you want a healthier option, consider using whole wheat bread dough. You can mix up the toppings; try using ingredients from vegetarian recipes or even leftovers from last night's dinner for a unique twist.

Serving Suggestions

These kid-sized pizzas are perfect for a fun family meal or a party. Serve them alongside a fresh salad or some carrot sticks with dip for a balanced plate. They also pair beautifully with Nannie'S Chocolate Pie for a sweet finish to the meal.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftover pizzas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes until warmed through, or use a microwave for a quicker option, though the crust may not stay crispy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use homemade bread dough instead of frozen?

Absolutely! Homemade bread dough can be used for this recipe. Just ensure that it has risen properly before dividing it into pieces. This will yield a fresh taste and can be tailored to your preferred flavor.

What are some good toppings for picky eaters?

For picky eaters, stick to classic toppings like cheese and pepperoni or simple vegetables like bell peppers and olives. You can also let kids customize their own pizzas with a variety of toppings to encourage them to try new things.

Can these pizzas be frozen for later use?

Yes, you can freeze the assembled but unbaked pizzas. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and foil before freezing. When ready to bake, unwrap and bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
