Cici's Mac and Cheese Pizza Recipe
Imagine indulging in the comfort food combination of macaroni and cheese married with a classic pizza.
Equipment
- 1 pizza stone or baking sheet
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pizza crust or homemade pizza dough
- 1 cup elbow macaroni
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- cheese sauce store-bought or homemade
- olive oil optional
- chopped green onions optional
Instructions
- If you're making your pizza dough from scratch, mix the dry ingredients with warm water, then knead the dough for 5-10 minutes. Let it rest while covered, then roll out the dough on a floured surface. For a pre-made pizza crust, simply remove it from the packaging.
- Set your oven to 400°F (204°C) for a homemade pizza dough or follow the recommended temperature on the pre-made pizza crust's package.
- Place the rolled-out pizza dough or pre-made crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone. Optionally, you can brush the dough with olive oil to enhance the flavor. Spoon a thin layer of cheese sauce onto the dough, and then put it in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until almost fully cooked. This step helps ensure a crispy crust.
- While the pizza crust is baking, cook the elbow macaroni according to the package instructions or create your homemade version of mac and cheese.
- Remove the par-baked pizza crust from the oven and evenly spread the cooked macaroni on top. Sprinkle a cup of shredded cheddar cheese and a cup of mozzarella cheese over the macaroni. Add chopped green onions for an extra touch of flavor, though this is optional.
- Place the assembled pizza back into the oven and bake for an additional 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
