Crockpot Pizza
I'm totally taking you guys along for a first time experiment! I'll add in the notes what I would do differently next time.
Heres all of the ingredients I used, plus my 6 quart slow cooker.
(P.S. I have a cousin that works at the Tones factory and its the best thing ever...everytime I see my Aunt I get a bag full of goodies!
We've gotten so many good seasonings like this Italian one.
Last time I got Sprinkles! - Those of you that know me well know I LOVE cookie cutters and sprinkles😂)
I had these parchment paper sheets on hand and it was the perfect size for the crockpot, you can easily cut your own or spray the crockpot with a cooking spray.
I sprinkled a little flour on the parchment paper, laid out both of the packages of of dough and sprinkled with a little more flour before shaping it into an oval.
Then I placed it in the crockpot and finished shaping it.
It doesn't need to be perfect, just get your edges higher than the middle.
I added half a cup of the sauce to a bowl and mixed in some seasonings before spreading on the bottom of the pizza.
Then I just layered cheese, pepperoni, dropped a little bit of the sauce, more cheese, a little more sauce, and sprinkled some of the Italian seasoning on the top.
You could totally change up the ingredients or what order you put them in, whatever works for you!
I set the crockpot on high for 1 1/2 hours and put a tea towel over the top to help with moisture while its cooking.
And the finished product!
Ingredients:
- 2 packages pillsbury classic pizza dough
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
- 1/2 cup pizza blend
- 1/2 cup fresh mozzarella
- 1/4 cup feta
- 15-20 pepperonis
- Seasonings
Directions
- Start by sprinkling Flour on your parchment paper
- Spread out both rolls of dough and shape into an oval
- Place in crockpot and finish shaping
- Mix seasonings in with pizza sauce and spread on the bottom
- Layer cheese, pepperoni, a little sauce, more cheese, a little more sauce and sprinkle the top with seasoning
- Set crockpot to 1 1/2 hours on high and cover with a tea towel
- Let sit for a 5 - 10 minutes to cool
- Cut and serve - Since the crust was so thick I served with some of the tomato sauce to dip.
This made 4 pieces of pizza.
Notes:
Next time I would either cut the crust in half and only use one tube of dough or add more toppings and make it more a deep dish style pizza.
Cost:
It was about $20 to buy all of these ingredients, aside from the dough you would have enough ingredients left to make at least 1-2 more pizzas, I'm going to use mine to make a pizza pasta freezer meal so all said and done it will be cost effective for me.
If you're trying to make this on a budget you wouldn't need to buy the fresh mozzarella or feta as those ones are little pricier! (But they're so delicious so I would totally recommend it)
