Recipe: Easy Mini Pizzas

There's no need to order out for pizza! Save your money and make these at home.

Easy Mini Pizzas
Non-stick cooking spray
1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (I used Pillsbury)
1 cup shredded mozzarella
2 large pieces fresh mozzarella
1 can tomatoes
Basil and garlic to taste

Pre-heat oven to 350° F and spray baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Chop fresh mozzarella into small pieces. Chop tomatoes, garlic and basil. If you're lucky, you can get Italian-style canned tomatoes that already have the basil and garlic added. Separate dough into 8 pieces and flatten each piece between the palms of your hands. Lay out each piece on the baking sheet, then add tomato mixture on top. Top with fresh mozzarella and shredded mozzarella. Bake for 10 minutes at 350° F or until dough is cooked through.

I had biscuit dough that I bought on sale plus canned Italian-style tomatoes that I bought with a coupon from the Whole Foods newsletter, so I decided to give these a try over the weekend. I tried making half with fresh mozzarella and fresh tomatoes, and the rest with the canned tomatoes and shredded mozzarella. The canned tomatoes actually worked a lot better and there was more than enough in the can for a second batch.
