Tip

Parmesan Pointers

When a recipe calls for shredded Parmesan cheese, use the cheese found in bags in the grocery store dairy section. Shredded Parmesan is often used in salads or soups where the shreds make a pretty garnish. If grated Parmesan is called for, use the finely grated cheese sold in containers with shaker/pourer tops. This type works well in lasagna and casseroles. (You can substitute either shredded or grated Parmesan in equal proportions in your favorite recipes.) If you decide to buy a chunk of Parmesan cheese and grate your own, be sure to use the finest section on your grating tool. You can also use a blender or food processor. Simply cut the cheese into 1-inch cubes and process 1 cup of cubes at a time on high until finely grated.

I would make it a bit different cuz I do not eat meat that often..Ingredients

1/4 pound bulk pork sausage (or no meat.. using black beans instead!)

1/2 cup chopped green & red peppers

1/4 cup chopped onion

1 loaf (1 pound) frozen bread dough, thawed and halved

2 cups (8 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese (or Mexican mixed cheese)

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 can (8 ounces) pizza sauce

8 slices pepperoni

1 can (4 ounces) mushroom stems and pieces, drained

1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

Thanks for an awesome idea!

Excellent! Pizza Night is Friday Night in our house and this was a winner. I will admit that frozen bread dough can be a pain to spread in the pan but in the end it was worth it!

My husband loves his pizza, so when I saw this recipe I knew I had to try it.

It was a hit. I used my own pizza dough recipe and next time I might try making a stuffed crust pie! This was a really tasty and satisfying supper dish.

This was really delicious! I did end up leaving out the mushrooms because they are not very popular in my house. I will definitely be making this again and again.
