I was very indecisive at the grocery store this morning. I basically bought stuff for breakfast, lunch, and only veggies for dinners this week. I figured I had enough protein in the freezer, that I could improvise. And, improvise is exactly what I did for dinner tonight. When Ben called to say he was on his way home, I still didn't have a clue what I was fixing for dinner. I asked him what kind of food he was in the mood for. When he said "spicy," I had to come up with something quick.
We had some zesty pizza sauce, hot Italian sausage, and shredded mozzarella in the fridge, but no pizza dough. I went online to the Bisquick website hoping to find a quick pizza dough recipe. I was surprised to only find recipes that required yeast and far more time than I had available. What I did find was a recipe for Reuben Fold-Overs, which looked like calzones or empanadas. I took a chance and it worked pretty well.
For the dough, I took two cups of Bisquick and added 1/2 cup of boiling water. I mixed until the dough formed, split the dough into four balls, pressed them out into 5 inch rounds, and placed them on a cookie sheet. I topped each round with the sauce, cheese and sausage and baked for about 15 minutes. They tasted pretty good, but were really just flat biscuits with pizza toppings:) The pizza sauce really saved it. Yes, it is that good;) All in all, it was a successful improvisation.
