Servings 1 person
Equipment
- rolling pin
- ¼ baking sheet or pizza stone, or other size baking sheet
- spoon
- knife, cutting board for chopping toppings, if applicable
- oven
Ingredients
- 1 whole Serving pizza dough see recipe in notes. Or buy premade dough or pita, or flatbread.
- 3-4 Tablespoons Pizza sauce
- ½+ cup shredded mozzarella cheese or fresh mozzarella to cover dough

- flour for rolling out dough
- cooking spray for pan
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Roll out pizza dough on a lightly floured surface, to just under ¼ inch thick. Or to desired thickness. The single serving pizza dough recipe makes for a great pizza crust when rolled out to be just smaller than ¼ baking sheet.
- Transfer to sprayed or floured ¼ (or whatever size you have) baking sheet.
- Spoon out 3-4 Tablespoons of pizza sauce over pizza. Spread it out evenly, leaving about ¼-1/2 inch edge on dough.
- Top sauce with ½ cup (or more!) shredded mozzarella cheese and then desired toppings.
- Bake in 425 degree F oven, for 12-15 or so minutes. Or until desired doneness.
- Cut pizza slices and enjoy immediately.

Notes
- Single Serving Pizza Dough Recipe
- Let refrigerated dough rest for about 15-30 minutes before rolling out, for best results.
- Add your favorite toppings or leftovers to this pizza.
- I've found that using the large log of fresh mozzarella or low moisture mozzarella brick work well for this pizza. Neither make the pizza soggy when I baked them at 425 degrees F. Squeeze out extra moisture from cheese, if you'd like.
- You could add lots of tomato paste to spaghetti sauce. And maybe some more Italian seasonings for a pizza sauce. Pizza sauce is typically thicker than spaghetti, which is helpful so you don't have a soggy pizza.
- Add toppings then cheese, if you'd like the toppings to stay on better. The pizza looks better with toppings on top, but you will have fewer toppings fall off with cheese on top. Or sprinkle extra cheese over the toppings. That works too
- Other Topping Ideas: there are so many. Add fresh or sauteed onions, mushrooms, sausage, bell pepper, grilled chicken, additional cheeses to name a few.
