Kitchen Tips

Time-Saver
For quicker preparation, use shredded cheese available in the dairy section of the supermarket.

Variation
Kids can make it their way! Let them pick the toppings they like and decide whether to make one big pizza or eight individual ones.

Simplify
Trim three ingredients down to one by replacing the tomato sauce, Italian seasoning and garlic powder with 1 cup of your favorite purchased pizza sauce.
