Bisquick Veggie Pizza

Pizza! Bisquick! Combine the two and you have an awesome and easy breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I always use to think that Bisquick was only good for making biscuits until I looked at the box and found several yummy recipes. This is one of them. The crust is light and flaky, unlike regular pizza dough, and it gets the job done when your belly is growling and begging for pizza. Try it!

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups original Bisquick
1/3 cup very hot water
1 can (8 ounces) pizza sauce
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms (or you can use a can of mushrooms-remember to drain the juice first)
1 large bell pepper, chopped = 1 cup
1 small red onion, sliced and separated into rings
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (6 ounces)

Directions
Heat oven to 450 degrees. Grease a 12-inch pizza pan. Stir Bisquick and hot water; beat 20 strokes until soft dough forms. Press dough in a pizza pan, using fingers dusted with Bisquick; pinch edges to form 1/2-inch rim.
Spread pizza sauce over dough. Top with the veggies then sprinkle with cheese.
Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted.

Tips
Try substituting the bell peppers or mushrooms with zucchini or black olives. Add a little bit of garlic powder (or any other spice you enjoy) to the Bisquick mix to give the crust an extra flavor. Remember, you don't have to add the whole jar of pizza sauce to your crust. I prefer adding a medium amount so it doesn't overpower the flavor of the veggies and cheese. Experiment...it's your pizza! :)

  2. This recipe sounds delicous. If I had a stove i would so make it. Im not sure how it would taste if you would substitute for with the zuchini because i feel like the pizza sauce on them would be kinda weird but you could always substitute for onions.
