Pat dough into pan or on to a pizza stone using fingers dipped in olive oil. If desired sprinkle basil, thyme or other seasonings on crust. Top with your favorite pizza toppings and bake for 15 to 20 minutes in a preheated 425 degree oven.

Margarita Pizza
Ingredients 1 unbaked pizza crust 1-2 Tbsp olive oil 1 large garlic clove, smashed 2 large fresh tomatoes, thinly sliced (or 3-4 roma tomatoes) Mozzarella cheese 10 leaves fresh basil, torn (you can substitute dried basil but it's not quite as good) Salt and pepper Directions: Prepare pizza dough according to the directions. Place olive oil and garlic in a microwave safe container and microwave for 30 seconds, then allow it to sit for 5 minutes. Roll out the pizza crust and brush with garlic oil. Place tomatoes in a single layer on the crust, then top with cheese and basil. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the whole thing and bake according to the pizza crust directions.

Barbecue Chicken Pizza


Ingredients 1 pizza crust 2 tablespoons olive oil 1/2 pound chicken, cut into strips 2/3 cup barbecue sauce (recommended: Bullseye Original) 3/4 cup shredded Gouda 1 cup shredded mozzarella 3/4 cup shredded Parmesan 1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. 2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken strips and saute until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Remove from heat. When chicken is cool enough to handle, dice chicken to yield a little over 1 cup. In a small bowl, toss chicken with 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce. Set aside. 3. On a floured surface, roll out dough and place on a greased sheet pan. Shape to fill the sheet pan, about a 15 by 10-inch rectangle. Spread remaining barbecue sauce evenly over pizza dough. Sprinkle Gouda, mozzarella, Parmesan, onions, and chicken over top. Bake for 20 minutes or until cheese bubbles. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and cut into pieces.
