2 C shredded Mozzarella Cheese
Editor's Note: Our son, Nate Tawney, makes pizzas in his Big Green Egg grill and they are amazing as well.
SERVES 4-6 Preheat Oven to 375 degrees.
NOTE: If dough is too sticky, sprinkle in a few tablespoons of Bisquick; if it feels too dry, add a tablespoon of water.
STEP 2: – Divide dough in half and drop dough by tablespoon-sized portions all over the bottom of the prepared pan. NOTE: The pan will not be covered by the dough.
STEP 3: – Drizzle 1 C of the pizza sauce on top of the dough. Layer half of the pepperoni and other pizza toppings on top of sauce. Sprinkle with half of the mozzarella cheese.
STEP 4: – Repeat STEP 3 and layer 1 C of the pizza sauce on top of the mozzarella cheese layer and add the other half of your pizza toppings on top of the sauce. Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
STEP 5: – Bake 25-30 minutes in the oven or in a pizza oven until golden brown and dumplings are cooked in the center. Let rest for a couple of minutes, cut into squares and serve warm.
