Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Mix the Dough

In a medium bowl, combine Bisquick mix and water. Stir until a soft dough forms. If adding seasonings or oil, mix them in now.

Step 2: Knead Lightly

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for about 1 minute. Avoid overworking—it should stay soft and slightly sticky.

Step 3: Shape the Dough

Roll or press the dough into a 10–12 inch circle or rectangle, depending on your pan. Thinner dough = crispier crust.

Step 4: Pre-Bake the Crust

Place the dough on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 220°C (425°F) for 5–7 minutes until lightly set.

Step 5: Add Toppings

Remove from oven, add sauce, cheese, and toppings of your choice.

Step 6: Final Bake

Return to oven and bake for another 8–10 minutes until cheese is melted and edges are golden.
