Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Mix together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Add the vegetable shortening. Use a fork or pastry cutter to press shortening into the flour mixture, until it resembles course crumbs. Add milk. Stir. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface.

Cut biscuit dough into four equal sections.

Roll out one of the doughs into a flat, circular shape, around 8″.

Place dough onto a cookie sheet or round cake pan. Pre-cook for 2 minutes.
Remove from oven, top with sauce and cheese and whatever else you like. (I use 3/4 of a bag of cheese for each pizza.)

Bake for around 10 minutes, or until cheese is bubbling and center of the crust has cooked through.

Repeat with the rest of the dough.
