Open package of pizza dough, gather ingredients, grate cheese, chop vegetables.

Preheat oven to 300F. Spray cookie sheet with non-stick spray.

Place pizza dough on sheet and cut into 8 squares. Press dough thin with fingers. Add pizza sauce to four squares. (The other four will make the tops.)

Add other pizza toppings and pizza herbs to taste. Place the other four squares to cover the mini-pizzas and crimp edges.
