| Category: | Vegetarian Entrée |
| Meal: | Pizza Party (Theme Meal Plans) |
| 1 | recipe | pizza dough |
| 1 | 15 oz can | tomato sauce |
| 1 | lb | cheese, mozzarella |
| 1 | lb | cheese, Mexican |
| 6 | Tb | cheese, Romano, grated |
| 5 | Tb | oil, olive |
| 0.25 | cup | cornmeal, course ground |
| |
For individual pizzas cut dough into 10 pieces. On floured surface, shape dough into a round disk. Work dough from middle to outside. You want it about 1/4 “ thick and thicker just around the edges. Place on flat board, (peel), upside down cookie sheet or cutting board, with some corn meal to allow the dough to slip off peel. Cover with thin layer of tomato sauce, leaving about 3/4” at edge. Sprinkle on cheeses. Sprinkle on 1 TB romano. Drizzle 1 tsp. of oil on top.
Optional toppings: sausage, mushrooms, onions, peppers. Add toppings, remember pizza will only be in the oven around 12 minutes, so cut thinly and if you are using saugage, makes sure you put it on last, so it will cook. Pre-heat oven to maximum temperature for at least 30 minutes. Cook pizza on a pizza stone or cookie sheet 8-12 minutes until done .
Hint: For parties make the pizza ahead of time and reheat.
Note: Be sure to add the pizza dough recipe to your shopping list.
Special Note: Use 1/5th of the dough for pizza donuts for dessert. See recipe under Pizza Donuts in the Cooking for the Kids category.
