"Pizza" Pronto
A flavorful homemade pizza featuring a tender yeast crust topped with savory ground beef, salami, green peppers, onions, and rich tomato sauce, perfect for family dinners.
Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water.
- Stir in Bisquick. Beat vigorously until combined.
- Turn the dough onto a surface dusted with Bisquick and knead about 20 times.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter crust, consider using whole wheat Bisquick or adding a bit of garlic powder for extra flavor. If you don't have salami, pepperoni or cooked sausage can be great substitutes. To enhance the toppings, try adding Italian herbs like oregano or basil. If you're short on time, you can also use store-bought pizza dough as an alternative.
Serving Suggestions
Slice the pizza into wedges and serve it hot with a side of marinara sauce for dipping. A fresh green salad or garlic bread pairs beautifully with this dish to create a complete meal. For a fun twist, serve it alongside Italian recipes like J. R.'S Lasagna for a hearty Italian feast.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, let the pizza cool completely before wrapping it in aluminum foil or placing it in an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices on a baking sheet in a 375°F oven for about 10-15 minutes until heated through and the crust is crispy again.
