Pizza Wheels


For our family, summer is just as busy as the school year, but in a different way. Our kids have always been involved in softball and baseball, so I am always looking for meals that can be made quickly and that everyone enjoys. I came up with this idea, after having something like this at a local restaurant. I have tweaked it a little here and there, and feel free to tweak it some more if you want!

Pizzal Wheels

frozen bread (like Rhodes) - I like the whole wheat
pizza sauce
toppings of your choice
cheese

Thaw out the frozen bread either the night before in the fridge or the day of (directions are on the bag). Once the bread is thawed, roll out the dough into the size of a rectangle about 10" x 14". Cover with sauce and put on toppings of your choice and sprinkle with cheese (I like to use a blend of cheeses). I also sprinkle with Italian seasonings on top of the cheese. This next bit is kind of tricky. Roll it up starting with the long end to make a log. While you are rolling you have to kind of tuck in the edges to keep in the toppings. After you have your log rolled out, you cut it into 1 - 1 1/2" pieces. Place on cookie sheet and bake at 350 for about 15-20 minutes. Keep an eye on them.

They are great because you can have a "kid" friendly one with one loaf of bread and then make another one with all the good stuff!

Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
