Easy Pizza

We eat pizza pretty frequently in our house, but we go the easy route :>) For the crust we use Bridgeford bread dough. You can buy it in a 3-pack in the freezer section. Just take one loaf out in the morning, and levae it covered on the counter all day. We roll it out and press to fit in a 9X13 pan. Put on your toppings, then bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes until lightly browned. A lot of times we will do the traditional pepperoni pizza, but here are a couple variations that we like!

BBQ chicken pizza:
Cook one chicken breast. Shred and mix with small amount bbq sauce. Spread thin layer of your favorite bbq sauce on prepared dough. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese, chicken, and sliced red onion if desired. I like to put a little minced cilantro on after cooking if I have it around!

Buffalo chicken pizza:
Cook one chicken breast. Shred and mix with small amount buffalo sauce (we like the Ken's brand!). Spread thin layer of buffalo sauce on prepared dough. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese, chicken, and sliced green onion. It's also good to put a little minced celery on. Serve with ranch or bleu cheese dressing.

Aloha Pizza- pampered chef

2 green onions- sliced thin
2 packages refrigerated bread loaf
1 T. olive oil
½ c. BBQ sauce, divided
2 c. mozzarella cheese
2 c. diced cooked chicken
1 medium pineapple- (or ½ can)
½ red bell pepper

Form circle with thawed bread dough and place on cookie sheet or pizza pan. Brush olive oil on dough. Spread ½ BBQ sauce on crust and baste remaining over chicken. Spread chicken and cheese over crust. Place green onions, pineapple and pepper on top. Bake 20-25 min at 400 degrees. or until crust is golden brown.

* This is sort of cheating because the crust is already made- but I can't do the dough thing for some reason, so this works for me.
