To buy
- 8 ounces canned tomato sauce
- 4 ounces shredded mozzarella
From your shelf
- 1 can Pillsbury original sandwich crescent
Staples
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 1 clove, minced garlic
- Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Press the crescent dough into an eight-inch pie pan or small baking sheet, sealing any seams with your fingers so it forms a single layer.
- Spread 8 ounces of tomato sauce over the dough, then scatter 1 minced clove of garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper over the sauce. Top with 4 ounces of shredded mozzarella, spreading it evenly.
- Bake until the crust is golden and the cheese bubbles at the edges, about 20 minutes. Let cool for one minute before slicing.
Note Swap the tomato sauce for pesto and add cooked chicken or grilled vegetables. Leftover pizza keeps in the refrigerator for two days and reheats in a 350°F oven for five minutes. Serve with a green salad or garlic bread alongside.
