PIZZA ON A STICK

Here’s a totally fun way to serve all the flavors of pizza with a twist, or a stick, as it were.

Whatever your favorite pizza may be, you can recreate it on a skewer. Just as long as the items can be poked with a stick.

You can add pineapple chunks, chicken, Canadian bacon, olives, fresh basil. 





What You’ll Need:



Italian sausage – mild or hot

Green pepper – chopped into large pieces

Red pepper - chopped into large pieces

Onion – purple, sweet or what ever you have - chopped into large pieces

Pepperoni slices

Mushrooms - quartered

Pizza dough 

Pizza sauce or spaghetti sauce



Here’s How:



We used metal skewers but if you use wooden skewers be sure they’re sturdy and soak them in water for 30 minutes so they don’t burn.

If you’re making pizza dough, do that first.

Cook the sausage completely. When it’s cool enough to handle slice in bite sized pieces. Chop your veggies making sure to keep the sizes uniform so they all cook at the same time. Pepperoni slices can be folded into quarters so they’re easy to skewer (and pretty).

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Skewer the veggies and meat alternating pieces as it pleases you. Leave a little space between the pieces so they cook evenly.

Roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle and cut strips. When we cut ours they were 1 ½” wide and about 8” long. The dough strips will stretch when you pick them up.

To wrap the pizza dough; start at the pointy end of the skewer and fold over about a 2” of the end of a dough strip and stick it on the skewer. Wrap the strip around the skewer. When you get to the bottom wrap the dough around the skewer and give it a pinch to seal.

Bake on a baking sheet for 15 minutes or until the dough is pleasingly golden brown. If you wish you can sprinkle them with shredded mozzarella cheese when they come out of the oven.

Serve with pizza sauce or spaghetti sauce.
