Tips & Substitutions
For a crispier crust, preheat your baking dish while the oven is warming up. You can substitute the pepperoni with cooked sausage or veggies for a vegetarian option. If you don't have Bisquick, a homemade mix of flour, baking powder, and salt works too. Feel free to add other toppings like olives or bell peppers to customize your One Pan Pizza.
Serving Suggestions
Serve One Pan Pizza hot, garnished with fresh basil or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese. It pairs beautifully with a side salad or garlic bread for a complete meal. For a fun twist, consider serving it alongside Chocolate Peanut Treats for a delightful dessert after your pizza.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover One Pan Pizza can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of Bisquick?
Yes, you can use whole wheat flour, but you'll need to add baking powder and salt to mimic the leavening and flavor of Bisquick. Adjust the milk slightly as whole wheat flour may absorb more liquid.
How can I make this pizza gluten-free?
To make a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free baking mix instead of Bisquick. Ensure all other ingredients, including the pizza sauce and toppings, are certified gluten-free to avoid cross-contamination.
Can I freeze One Pan Pizza?
Yes, you can freeze One Pan Pizza. Allow it to cool completely, then cut into slices and wrap each slice in plastic wrap followed by foil. Freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat directly from frozen in the oven or microwave.
