Biscuit Pizzas
These little pizzas are so easy to make, and trust me, everyone loves to participate in the preparation no matter what their age. This recipe is a great one for the kids to help out with in the kitchen as early as age 2 (with your help of course). I forced my friends in Chicago to make them with me this past Christmas and I'm pretty sure they enjoyed it. See for yourself. Everyone has their own style when making these. Great for parties
and nannying.
And the Pilsbury biscuits make the most delicious crust ever! Wait until you smell the aroma coming from the oven. Ok, here's what you will need (*use your judgment on quantities depending on how many pizzas you will be making):
Ingredients
- 1 package of Pilsbury (or any cheap brand) biscuits - you can get the grands if you want to make larger pizzas, but I prefer the regular size
- 1 jar or can of pizza sauce or spaghetti sauce
- 1 bag of mozzarella cheese (any of your favorite cheeses can be used)
- Any toppings would like on your on personal pizza
- Oil or non-stick spray
Instructions...
I kind of make this up everytime. I think I set the oven to about 350 degrees. Spread each biscuit out on a greased cookie sheet - this time I spread some olive oil on with a paper towel. (From here, the kids can continue on their own or you can help them depending on their age). Add pizza sauce, however much you like. I think the more the better. Now, your choice, add toppings first and then cheese or vice versa. I am kind of boring and usually just make cheese or cheese with olives so deciding this one isn't a predicament for me. But you can add anything, for example: meat, veggies of any sort, fruit (if you're weird - though pineapple can be good w/ green olives) - whatever your little heart desires. Bake for about 8-10 minutes or until edges of the crust are a light to golden brown. Let them cool for a couple minutes (especially for the kiddos), and then eat as many as you possibly can. I usually tend to house at least four every sitting. Oh, and add parmesan, red pepper flakes, pepper, etc to the top or just eat plain.
This was one of my favorite meals as a child and still is to this day. Test it out and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Yum–I’ll have to try this one! One of my go-to lunches is pretty similar to your pizza, except I use the old-English-muffin-as-a-crust routine.
Pretty good post. I just found your site and wanted to say
that I have really liked browsing your posts. In any case
I’ll be subscribing to your feed and I hope you write again soon!
I was just about to write what the girl above said! english muffins are the faster quicker way, but I’m guessing the pillsbury dough makes em taste a million times better. yummm I’m hungry now, maybe I’m off to the groc!
Yummy! I’ve made these before, except with English muffins – will definitely try the biscuits
This looks so good! I can definitely manage to make this.
