Pepperoni Cheese Sticks

We eat way too much pizza in our house.  I'd love to point fingers and say that it's because of my two boys, but in reality, I love it just as much! My absolute favorite pizza is the pepperoni crazy bread from Little Cesears!  Owen and I went there a few months ago to get one for dinner and wouldn't you know, they've taken it off their menu! I was devastated! Ever since that day I have craved it and knew I'd need to find a way to make my own.

Back in the day, I worked for Pizza Hut.  I was a young, crazy, high school gal who could eat what she wanted and not have to worry so much.  I would make breadsticks and top them with lots of ooey cheese and Italian sausage.  I promise I shared with my best friend and co-worker, Cassandra! We would go to town on those bad boys.  Because of this, I know the concept of building and topping a pizza! You've got to do the cheese just right so the toppings don't fall off. 

Ingredients:

2 cups all purpose baking mix

5 tbsp parmesan cheese

1/2 cup water

1 tsp pizza seasonings (Italian will work too)

1 cup mozzarella cheese

toppings of choice

Mix together the baking mix, parmesan cheese, seasonings and water.  Press firmly into the bottom of a 13x9 inch pan (I had to flour my hands since the dough was sticky).  Top with about 3/4 cup of the cheese.  Build your toppings and sprinkle the rest of the cheese to help "hold down" the toppings.  Bake at 400 degrees for about 20-25 minutes. Dip in your favorite sauce! Enjoy!
