Recipe: Let's Bisquick Pizza

It was another busy Friday afternoon and I needed to prepare something fast for Sabbath lunch the next day. Sound familiar? In a moment of desperate inspiration, I decided to make the family favourite: pizza. I reached for a large yellow box from Costco, and 30 minutes or so later, lunch was ready. (does not include pre-heating time for oven)

   3 cups Bisquick mix (pressed down)
   Olive oil (I prefer extra virgin, first cold press)
   Plain soymilk
   1 jar Prego tomato sauce (the medium size jar)
   Heinz tomato ketchup
   1/2 block Follow Your Heart Vegan Cheddar Cheese, shredded
   1/2 green bell pepper, cut in chunks
   Frozen sweet baby corn
   1 small jar of mushrooms


Mix a couple tablespoons or so of olive oil, and enough soymilk with the Bisquick to make it into a smooth dough of pizza dough consistency. Spray a large baking tray with baking spray, then press the dough out to cover the tray. Pre-bake in the oven at 400 degrees fahrenheit for 8 minutes. Then take the dough out and squirt ketchup, spread tomato sauce, throw on the bell peppers and mushrooms and corn, and cover with a generous topping of cheese. Put back in the oven for another 7 minutes or so, watching carefully to be sure it doesn't burn. Serve with a green salad and chilled Welches' grape juice. Tastes best on the same day, but you can reheat it in the oven the next day at 350 degrees for about 20-30 minutes.

Please note that all times and temperatures are subject to your particular oven, so watch your dough carefully to be sure it doesn't burn.
