Biscuit Dough Pizza

By JimMac

Ingredients

• 2 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 4 tablespoons cold butter
• 3/4 to 1 cup buttermilk (or milk with a squirt of lemon juice)
• Butter, parmesan, sauce, cheese, and toppings

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450ºF. Combine the flour, garlic, salt, seasoning, baking powder and soda. Cut the cold butter into small cubes and work into flour with your fingers, breaking it up a little bit. Add 3/4 cup buttermilk. If you're using milk with lemon juice, allow it to set on the counter for a few minutes, stirring occasionally until it thickens. Add a tablespoon more at a time until you can mix all the flour in. Don't add any more than you have to. Take the dough out of the mixing bowl and flatten it and fold it over itself a few times (this helps create biscuity layers). Roll it out to about an 11 inch circle or so. Fold in the edges to create a crust. Top with sauce, cheese, and toppings. Bake for about 15 minutes or until the crust is browned around the edges and the cheese is bubbling. Brush the edges with butter and sprinkle with parmesan. Garnish with basil.
