Pizza with Boboli Bread and Homemade Sauce
A quick and easy pizza with Boboli bread crust, homemade sauce, and toppings that can be customized to your favorite ingredients.
Here’s an easy way to make scrumptious pizza that’s semi-homemade with premade crust and a quick homemade pizza sauce.
This recipe includes some traditional toppings such as pepperoni, cooked Italian sausage and pieces of sliced deli ham.
And sliced mushrooms and black olives are added for good measure.
About this Recipe
There are also 3 types of cheese on this pizza, shredded mozzarella, dollops of ricotta and grated Parmesan cheese.
The best part is that the toppings on this pizza are highly customizable so feel free to substitute the toppings with your favorite ingredients.
I like to use Boboli thin pizza crust.
But there’s also a whole wheat version of Boboli bread that tastes wonderful as a pizza crust.
Feel free to change up the crust to another type of premade crust if preferred.
About Serving
This pizza with Boboli bread makes a great main dish or appetizer.
To serve as an appetizer, just cut the pizza into small pieces for a quick and easy finger food.
Let’s check out the ingredients.
Pizza – Premade pizza crust, sliced pepperoni, cooked pieces Italian sausage, sliced mushrooms, sliced black olives, sliced deli ham, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese and…
…ricotta cheese
Pizza Sauce – tomato sauce, dried oregano, dried basil, dried parsley, granulated garlic, pepper and dried red chili flakes
HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE
A printable recipe with the measurements and instructions is located at the bottom of this post.
For the Pizza Sauce:
In a medium size bowl, add tomato sauce, oregano, basil, granulated garlic, parsley, and red pepper flakes.
Stir together and set aside.
For the Pizza:
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Sprinkle the cornmeal on a large baking sheet or pizza pie pan.
Cornmeal is used so that the crust doesn’t stick to the pan.
Lay the premade pizza crust on top of the corn meal.
With a medium to large size spoon, add about half of the pizza sauce over the top of the crust (add more if you like a lot of sauce).
Using the back of the spoon, spread the sauce over the crust (leave about 1 inch of empty space around the edges).
The remaining sauce can be used for making small size pizzas on English muffins or slices of French bread.
Or it can be frozen for future use.
Toppings:
…add the ricotta cheese in small pieces around the entire pizza.
Then add the mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the pizza.
Top the cheese with sliced pepperoni.
Then tear the ham into medium to large size pieces and spread it around the entire pizza.
I like to use black forest ham which has the pretty dark edges around it (tastes so good too).
Then add the cooked sausage.
Next,
add sliced mushrooms…
…and black olives.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top of the entire pizza.
Bake:
Bake in a preheated oven (at 450 degrees F.) until the cheese melts and the edges of the crust are slightly golden (about 15 minutes).
Serve:
Next,
…slice the pizza while its warm and…
…serve.

Oh my gosh! I was going to order some delivery pizza for my kids tonight so the hubby and I could go out for drinks, but this looks so good I’m thinking about heading straight out to the grocery store instead. Love the idea of putting ricotta on the pizza. Have never tried that. Thanks for the inspiration!
