Heart's Desire Pizza Recipe 2
This recipe offers a fast and simple way to make pizza using refrigerated biscuits as the crust base. Topped with sauce, your choice of ingredients, and a blend of mozzarella and cheddar cheeses, it's baked until golden and bubbly for a quick meal or snack.
Equipment
- 1 Baking Sheet Large, for arranging biscuits
- 1 Cutting Board For preparing toppings
- 1 Knife For chopping toppings
- 1 Spoon or Spatula For spreading sauce
- 1 Pizza Cutter For slicing baked pizza
Ingredients
Main
- 1 tube 16.3 ounces large refrigerated flaky biscuits
- 1 jar 14 ounces pizza sauce
- 1-1/2 to 2 cups toppings- sliced ripe olives sliced and quartered pepperoni, chopped fresh mushrooms, chopped green and/or sweet yellow pepper
- 1-1/2 cups 6 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1-1/2 cups 6 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven according to the refrigerated biscuit package instructions, usually around 375-400°F (190-200°C).
- Lightly grease or line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Separate the refrigerated biscuits and arrange them flat on the prepared baking sheet, placing them close together to form a single layer.
- Press the edges of the biscuits together slightly to help create a continuous crust.
- Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the biscuit base, leaving a small border for the crust.
- Scatter your desired toppings (olives, pepperoni, mushrooms, peppers) over the sauce.
- In a bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses.
- Sprinkle the cheese mixture generously and evenly over the toppings.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-18 minutes, or until the biscuit crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven, let stand for a few minutes before slicing with a pizza cutter and serving.
Notes
Using refrigerated biscuits provides a quick and easy crust alternative. Ensure biscuits are placed closely together on the baking sheet to form a contiguous base as they bake and expand. Avoid overloading with wet toppings or sauce, as this can make the biscuit base soggy. Pre-shredded cheese is convenient, but shredding your own often results in a creamier melt. For extra flavor and a golden edge, you can brush the exposed biscuit crust with melted butter or olive oil before baking.
