Biscuit Pizzas





One of the boys' favorite items to make is Biscuit Pizzas.  They are quick, easy and always a hit at meal time.  Adam helped me make these recently. 

1.  Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.  

2.  The crusts are just canned biscuits flattened out on  pizza pan or cookie sheet covered in parchment or greased.  (We don't cook anything without parchment anymore because it significantly cuts down on our dish scrubbing time.)  Adam enjoyed flattening the squishy biscuits. 

3. Add pizza sauce and let your little one spread it out with a spoon as Adam does below.

4.  Next add the meat of your choice.  We happened to have some leftover browned sausage on this day, so we did a combination of sausage and pepperoni.  We prefer Turkey Pepperoni, since it is significantly less greasy and healthier.  It truly taste the same if not better than regular.

5.  Add pizza cheese. I like to try to let the boys 'do their thing' without a lot of fuss, when we are cooking.  As you can see, Adam had some trouble evenly distributing the cheese.  Since this was something I could easily fix after the fact, I just let him have a good time.

6.  We topped our pizzas with some Italian Seasoning and I mistakenly let Adam put that on one pizza.  I caution you against letting little ones spread spices evenly, because this is something that cannot be easily fixed after the fact.

7.  Bake the pizzas according to the directions on the biscuit can.  Ours took about 8 - 10 mins.

This is a great way for your little ones to get their own individualized pizza and you can have toppings of your choice too.  It's simple so they can help and they taste great as well.  Enjoy!
