Everybody loves pizza. It’s sinfully delicious when served piping hot from the oven. And, you can dress it up and dress it down to suit your palate. So, the question is, what can we do to pizza that hasn’t already been done? Pizza Pretzels. They’re a great little alternative to traditional squares or wedges. And they look terrific on a party tray. Simply make a ring so that the dough overlaps by half. Then, take the ends across the opposite side of the ring and press the overlap together. It’s that simple.

Preparation

SELECT loaf size.

ADD ingredients to machine according to manufacturer’s directions.

SELECT White Dough cycle. When Dough cycle is complete, remove to floured surface. Cover with plastic wrap; let rest 5 minutes.

PRESS small or 1/2 large batch in 14" (35 cm) pizza pan. Repeat with rest of large batch to make 2 crusts.

SPREAD with sauce and toppings (below).

BAKE at 425°F (220°C) for about 20 minutes, or until crust is crisp and browned.

TOPPING

For each pizza, spread 3/4 cup (200 mL) pizza or pasta sauce over crust. Top with 3/4 cup (200 mL) of each: sliced peppers, mushrooms, onion and pepperoni. Add 1/2 cup (125 mL) sliced black olives and softened sun-dried tomatoes. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup (50 mL) Parmesan cheese and 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) shredded mozzarella cheese.
