MEXICAN PIZZA - RETRO PIZZA HUT STYLE

Steps:

• Cook chicken, cube and simmer in Ortega picante sauce.
• Roll out one can of premade Pillsbury pizza dough, bake for five minutes flip dough and bake for five minutes more. I like my crust crispy and thin.
• Remove dough from oven spread refried beans onto dough like pizza sauce. Top with chicken, onion, and cheese. Cook for ten minutes.
• Remove from oven and finish by topping with lettuce, tomatoes, more Ortega sauce, and black olives. Add sour cream if you need to.
• Slice and enjoy.

QUICK PIZZA MELTS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F Grease cookie sheet. On cookie sheet, unroll 1 can of dough into 1 large rectangle. With floured rolling pin or fingers, roll or press dough into 12x9-inch rectangle, firmly pressing perforations to seal.
• Spread 1/4 cup pizza sauce over dough to within 1/4 inch of edges. Top with pepperoni and mozzarella cheese.
• On 14-inch length of parchment paper, unroll remaining can of dough. Press to make 12x9-inch rectangle, firmly pressing perforations to seal. While holding paper with dough, turn dough upside down to cover cheese. Remove paper. Brush with beaten egg. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and oregano.
• Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand on cooling rack 5 to 10 minutes. Move to cutting board. Using pizza cutter, cut into 16 squares. Cut each square in half diagonally. Serve with 1 cup pizza sauce.

DIPPING SAUCE - PIZZA HUT STYLE

Steps:

• Simmer the tomato sauce with the seasonings for about 20 minutes.
• You may alter the amounts of the seasonings to suit your tastes.
• Use with Bread Sticks - Pizza Hut Style posted on this site.

TWIG'S TACO PIZZA

Steps:

• Prepare your favorite pizza dough and roll it out onto a 14 inch pizza pan. (I use a thick and chewy type dough so your cooking time may vary if you choose a thin crust or a pan crust).
• Brown 1 lb of ground beef with one package of taco seasoning mix. (I don't add the water the mix calls for.) Drain ground beef and set aside to cool.
• Warm up the refried beans in the same pan you used to cook the ground beef just enough to make the beans spreadable.
• Spread the beans on the pizza dough evenly. Top with the ground beef. Sprinkle about 1/3 of the cheese over beef and beans.
• Bake at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes or until dough is golden and the toppings are hot.
• Immediately cut the pizza into slices, leaving the slices in the pan.
• Spread the lettuce over the top, sprinkle with tomatoes, onions, and the rest of the cheese. (I used about 3/4 of a head of lettuce, 3/4 of a tomato, and an entire small onion -- but you could use 1/3 that and still have a hearty pizza.).
• Serve with taco sauce & sour cream if you like.

BREADSTICKS - PIZZA HUT STYLE

Steps:

• Add the dough ingredients to the bread machine in the order given, and set to first rise.
• When this has finished, roll the dough out into a rectangle which is 1/2-3/4 inch thick.
• With a pizza cutter, cut the dough into 1x4 inch strips.
• Place on greased cookie sheets and allow the bread sticks to rise until doubled.
• Meanwhile, stir the topping seasonings together with the parmesan cheese.
• Brush the breadsticks heavily with olive oil.
• Sprinkle with the topping. I use an empty spice bottle to shake it on evenly.
• Bake the bread sticks at 350°F for 12 to 15 minutes until golden.
• Serve warm with Dipping Sauce - Pizza Hut Style posted on this site.
