Pizza Dough - Pizza Dough or even canned biscuit dough will work for this. You can make your favorite pizza dough recipe ahead of time or just purchase some in the refrigerated section at your grocery store.
Pizza Sauce - Your favorite jar of marinara sauce is a great substitute for pizza sauce
Pizza Toppings - Pepperoni works best with this bread. You can use cooked ground italian sausage or canadian bacon. Make it vegetarian and leave out the protein.

Some ovens may vary in cooking time so you might have to cook it longer. I'm guessing your's wasn't hot enough.

I tried to make this tonight and it was totally doughy inside. Now it’s all spread out on a cookie sheet, trying to be salvaged.
Jenna says
I have over 1300 recipes that I need to keep track of and this one I haven't touched since 2014 so it needs to be updated. I will get to it when I can but you can use either canned biscuits or pizza dough for this recipe. Both work. Not really sure what cinnamon roll recipe you are talking about because I have a few on this site.
Paula says
You’re talking about using biscuit dough and seasoned oil but your recipe reads pizza dough. And I couldn’t find your cinnamon roll recipe to watch
Joy says
I was just about to make a pizza tonight, plans have changed and I am going to try this.
