Quick and Easy Pizza :)

Everyone loves pizza, right?  The wonderful blends of melted Mozzarella cheese, marinara sauce and pepperoni slices... Although, sometimes it takes too much time out of our hectic day (after fixing breakfast and lunch, teaching your children, do a couple loads of laundry, tackle the pile of dishes in the sink, and change dirty diapers--just to name a few things) to make the dough, let it rise for a couple hours, then roll it out, put the fixings on top and bake it in time for dinner! 

Well, I am here to offer you an easy solution to that dilemma. :)  During your grocery run, drop by Panera Bread or your local bakery and pick up a few "cheese rounds," as we call them, or traditional french bread... and there you have it--easy pizza "dough."  Ready for your favorite marinara sauce and toppings. 

 

For an easy and simple lunch, gather your bread, marinara sauce, cheese, pepperoni, and olives (not shown). 

Try not to make things too complicated when you're running short on time. ;)  

 

My wonderful brother, Simeon (18), was giving me a hand, cutting the bread in half 

length-wise so that we could get things done in somewhat short[er] order. 

We end up laying the bread on the cookie sheet(s) beforehand so that we know how 
much to prepare, but you can totally do it afterwards.

 

Next, spread the wonderful marinara sauce on the bread. 

 

If you are a pepperoni kind of person, then by all means, lay the slices 

so that they are overlapping each other...  we just happened to be running low on pepperoni, 

so we had to do our best to spread it out and use them kinda sparingly. :/

 

OLIVES!!! My family loves them. So we put tons on. :) 

 

Generously sprinkle Mozzarella cheese on top of the olives.  (On this one: we lay 
pepperoni on top of the cheese, as well as layering it below the olives.)

MMMM... looks delicious!!

Bake in 400 oven for 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted. 
Then, broil on LO for 5 minutes or until slightly golden and crispy on top.

Look at that crispy, golden cheese!!  
That is my absolute FAVORITE part of the pizza.
