Family Favorite Cheese Pizza Recipes

FAVORITE CHEESEBURGER PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°. In a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat, until no longer pink, 6-8 minutes, breaking into crumbles; drain. Sprinkle beef with salt., Place crust on an ungreased pizza pan or baking sheet; spread with salad dressing. Top with beef, onion and cheese., Bake 6-8 minutes or until cheese is melted. Top with lettuce and pickles just before serving.

CHEESE PIZZA

Steps:

• Place a pizza stone in the center rack of the oven. Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F for 1 to 2 hours before you're ready to bake the pizza to get the stone nice and hot.
• Generously sprinkle a flat work surface with flour. Use a rolling pin to stretch the dough into an 11-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured pizza peel or unrimmed baking sheet so it can slide right onto the pizza stone in the oven. (I use the bottom of a baking sheet.)
• Top with the mozzarella, sprinkle with the oregano, then gently spread the marinara sauce on top, leaving about a 1/2-inch border around the edges for the crust (my favorite part!).
• Turn off the oven and turn on the broiler. Use the peel or baking sheet to slide the pizza onto the pizza stone. The heat from the stone will cook the bottom of the pizza and the boiler will char and cook the top, mimicking a Neapolitan pizza oven. Bake until the cheese is melted and the crust is evenly crisped, 5 to 6 minutes. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with Parmesan if desired. Slice the hot pizza and serve immediately.

CHEESY PIZZA ROLL RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Let the dough thaw out for about an hour (if you're using refrigerated pizza crust, you can skip this step).
• Roll out the dough with a rolling pin so that it is about 1/4 inch thick. Spread about 1/2 cup sauce over the bread.
• Place Mozzarella cheese and pepperoni slices over the sauce. Then add any other toppings you like. We like black olives.
• Carefully roll up (you'll want to roll it so it's long and thin rather than short and thick) and place on a baking sheet. If you use a bread loaf, you may have to cut it in half to fit it on the baking sheet.
• Brush with beaten egg, then top with grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning, we love the flavor it gives the crust.
• Bake for 20 - 25 minutes. Keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn.
• Let cool for 5 minutes then cut into slices.
• Dip in remaining pizza sauce (or preferred dipping sauce).
