Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 tb Olive oil -- up to 3 tb
Basic pizza dough
2 c Prepared tomato sauce
3 c Mozzarella, cheddar, and/or
- monterey jack cheese -- grated
Topping Ideas:
1 Green bell pepper -- cut into
- 1/2" wide strips
1 Yellow or orange bell pepper --

1 lg Kalamata olives -- pitted,

Sliced pepperoni
Preheat oven to 475°F. Grease a large flat baking sheet with olive
oil.
Separate 1/3rd of the dough and set aside. On a greased baking sheet
shape the remaining 2/3rds of the dough into a butterfly with
2 wings. Roll the reserved piece of dough into a "snake" and position
in the center of the two wings as the "body". Pull some of the "body"
dough up to shape into a "head" and pull some of the "body" dough
down for a "tail."
Spread sauce over the "wings". Sprinkle with cheese and decorate with
toppings of choice.
Bake the pizza on the middle rack of the oven for 20 to 30 minutes
until crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbly. Serve warm.
As an alternative the dough can be divided into 4 pieces and then
shaped into bug or creature of choice, i.e. spider with legs,
ladybug, dragonfly, snake, etc.
