Rather than making pizza dough from scratch, patting out biscuit dough for mini pizzas is a quick, fun shortcut that older kids, like our eleven-year-old niece Lauren, will enjoy joining in on. And the kids can top their own pizzas, too, if they like, piling on the cheese and pepperoni or, if you’ve got a strange kid who likes them like Bobby always did, with sliced olives.

Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
Step 2
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and use the palm of your hand to flatten the dough to 1/4 inch in thickness. Divide the sauce evenly among the biscuits, top with a pinch of the oregano, then layer the mozzarella, pepperoni (if using), and Parmesan cheese.
Step 3
Bake until the biscuits are golden and the cheese is melted, about 15 minutes. Allow the pizzas to cool slightly and serve warm.

Step 4
Buy the pepperoni presliced in packages (found in your supermarket’s deli section) to make assembly even easier.
