(Almost) Homemade Pizza

Equipment

  • 2 12" round pizza pans

Ingredients

  • 1 31.85 oz. box Chef Boyardee Pizza Maker® kit
  • shortening for greasing pans
  • 1 T. olive oil
  • 8 oz. shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Your preferred toppings, for example: pepperoni, ground beef, Italian sausage, ham, bacon, tomato, onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, black olives, spinach, artichoke hearts, ricotta, grated parmesan, etc. . .

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°. Grease the two pizza pans.
  • Prepare the crust according to package directions. Drizzle olive oil over the dough, turning over to cover completely. Allow to sit for 5 minutes.
  • Divide the dough in half--one half for each of the pizza pans. Using a flat hand--and without tearing the dough--carefully spread/stretch the dough evenly to the edges of the pans. Top each pizza with 1/2 the can of sauce, spreading it evenly with the back of a spoon. Add your preferred toppings.
  • Put pizzas in the preheated oven, one on the top rack and one on the bottom rack. After 10 minutes switch them. Continue to bake for 8-10 minutes or until the crust is browned, and the cheese is melted and browning in spots. Let pizzas cool on the pans for 5 to 10 minutes before cutting.
