Crazy Crust Pizza!

Have you ever had one of those times when someone in your family is really craving pizza, but you just don't have the time to allow the dough to rise?  Here's where Crazy Crust Pizza comes in.  It's not your traditional pizza crust, but it's pretty tasty. 

It's a batter crust instead of a dough crust.  And it's yeast free! You could even substitute a gluten-free flour and make it a gluten-free pizza.  I'm guessing you could even substitute gluten-free Bisquick, but it wouldn't be as thin of crust like this recipe.  Gluten-free Bisquick or something similar is a self-rising mix, if I'm not mistaken, which means it probably has baking powder in it.  This recipe doesn't actually call for that.  But if you're up for a thicker more biscuit like crust, you could give it a try. 

Anyway, I found this recipe on All-Recipes.com.  The picture included with the recipe looks like someone put the batter in muffin tins for mini pizzas.  That's not what the recipe instructs to do, but what a clever idea for appetizers or a party.  I've personally only made this recipe in a jelly roll pan. 

I have to say that I like my regular dough recipe the best, but this is a great "in a hurry" substitute when you have little time, but big cravings for pizza.  =)    I'm sorry I don't have my own picture to share with you from the last time I made this, but check out the link below for the recipe.  It's Friday!  Have some fun in the kitchen.
