EASY INDIVIDUAL PIZZAS

Ingredients
Crust
8 RhodesTexas size-rolls, thawed
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons garlic salt
1 1/2 cups marinara sauce or pesto

Optional Toppings
Pepperoni
Ham
Pineapple
Cheese (mozzarella, feta, parmesan, etc.)
Mushrooms
Olives
Chopped tomato
Chopped bell peppers
Onions
. . . or any of your favorite pizza toppings

Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Coat 2 large baking sheets with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.  Press or roll thawed rolls into rounds, about 6 inches wide and 1/4 inch thick.  Place dough rounds onto prepared baking sheests and drizzle with remaining olive oil.  Sprinkle garlic salt evenly over all of the rounds.  Top each with marinara, pesto or your choice of sauce.  Top with desired toppings.  Bake for 12-15 minutes or until crusts are golden brown and cheese is melted.

Let's Dish
This is really more of an idea than a recipe, but with everyone around here having such different tastes in pizza, it's an idea that gets put to good use at our house.  There are a lot of things you can use for individual pizza crusts (whole pitas are another favorite of mine) but i like using the frozen dough because it comes pretty close to real pizza crust without the hassle of making dough from scratch.  The Texas rolls are the perfect size for an individual pizza, and they come in white and whole wheat.  You can, of course, adjust the number of rolls you use to suit your needs.  I like to top mine with pesto, tomatoes, feta and carmelized onions.  The kids are more cheese and pepperoni types.  The husband can't stand onions, but he loves pepperoni, mushrooms and olives.  That's why we love these pizzas so much--everybody's happy!

Who Dished It Up First
