Tips & Warnings
Use prepared tomato sauce or make your own in 10 minutes. See Related eHows for instructions.
Possible toppings include finely chopped onion, black olives, shredded mozzarella cheese (or other cheeses), chopped tomatoes and leftover cooked vegetables.
If you want fresh herbs on your pizza (perhaps for a fresh tomato and basil extravaganza), sprinkle them on after the pizza comes out of the oven.
Spread 1 tsp. olive oil on the crust to add flavor.
Store extra dough in the freezer for later use.
Regular pizza dough is yeasted, and it takes a while to make. This dough is almost a biscuit, but it works as a fresh, quick substitute.

One word for the crust made with these instructions: crumbly. It says it's like a biscuit, and it really is! It falls apart in your hand and makes a mess and it tastes awful! No joke - I made myself throw up because it tasted so bad. -

To avoid the time needed to make dough, use English muffins or sourdough French rolls instead. Do not preheat, just put tomato sauce, cheese and other toppings on and stick it all in a toaster oven for 10 minutes. -
