LOCATION

Directions

  • 1 Heat oven to 425°F. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray; sprinkle with cornmeal. Unroll dough; place on cookie sheet. Starting at center, press out dough into 14x12-inch rectangle. Brush dough with olive oil.
  • 2 Bake 6 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese in the shape of a "plus sign" on crust, dividing the crust into four squares. Top each square with 1 of the 4 variations listed above to make 4 different squares; if desired, on the Pepperoni Pizza Square, arrange the pepperoni to make a happy face. Top entire pizza with mozzarella cheese.
  • 3 Bake 10 to 13 minutes longer or until crust is deep golden brown and cheese is melted and bubbly. Cut pizza into 4 squares; cut each square into 4 squares to make a total of 16 squares.

This is great for pizza parties. Every one has a corner to design and the cooking goes so quickly. I've even divided it into six blocks for more variety.

A really great idea for pizza & making 2 at a time is even better. But you don't have to stick to the mentioned ingredients. It's fun to do this as a group & each one creates his own.

I just used this recipe and made two since my son and his two little boys were coming by. Used the bbq chicken and the tomato-veggie idea. Pineapple with ham was great. burger/bacon--super, chicken/spinach--good, also a three cheese one for our littlest grandson who loves cheese. We had 8 pizza toppings--each cut into 6 pieces--total 48 pieces and I had three left over for lunch the next day. Added a salad; it was a great dinner--fun for the boys, nutritious enough for the adults,easy to make. Pizza dough was great-stretched to large pans for our favorite thin crust pizzas. Jaybee

I tried this recipe and it worked well for my daughter and I. I intend to introduce this recipe to my stepchildren next time they visit.

Wow! I made two of these. One as written in the recipe and one for my four children to make their own section. What fun! Easy and wonderful tasting. We always loved making pizza but rolling out and baking bakery dough is very hard and time consuming. All of the pizza taste and appeal with less work and hassle. Great for family night.:)
