Pizza Pizza!




Isn't food beautiful. Tonight I made four different kinds of pizza to satisfy my husband's meaty taste buds and my love for mushrooms: Mini Pepperoni, Mushroom Ricotta Cheese, Turkey, and Yellow Tomato Veggie Pizzas. The inspiration came as I looked through the leftovers I had in my fridge. You can modify any of these recipes and add the toppings that you love or have on hand. 

You'll need:

14 oz Pizza dough- I used Pillsbury Artisan Pizza Dough because I feel lazy today
1 small can Black Olives, chopped
1 yellow tomato
1 red tomato
1/4 cup mini pepperoni
1/4 cup of turkey meat 
1/2 green pepper, chopped
1/4 red onion, chopped
5 spinach leaves 
4 fresh cremini mushrooms or button mushrooms, sliced
1 cup tomato sauce
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
fresh oregano and basil leaves, finely chopped
1 cup mozzarella cheese
grated Parmesan
Black pepper
Cooking spray

Here's how you do it:

Preheat the oven to 400F. Divide the dough into 4 parts, make round pizza crusts, and place them on a cookie sheet covered with tin foil and sprayed with cooking spray. Bake in the oven for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and use the toppings as instructed below. Note that you will use some of the toppings more than one time. Bake for extra 10 minutes or until the crust is golden. Enjoy!
