tortillas work well. also, you can use English muffins or French bread cut to desired lengths. If you make your own dough or use a packaged dough mix (walmart has a good one surprisingly; not sure of the name, but it comes in a package and not a box.) muffin pans will help shape the dough. Pizza dough is pretty easy to make. The time takes in the rising fazes, but you can start it and go do something else while it rises.
Pizza Dough Ingredients . 1 cup warm (110 degrees F) water . 1 (1/4-ounce) envelope active dry yeast . 1 teaspoon sugar . 1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil . 3 cups bleached all-purpose flour . 1 teaspoon salt Directions In a large bowl, combine the water, yeast, sugar, and 1 tablespoon oil and stir to combine. Let sit until the mixture is foamy, about 5 minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups of the flour and the salt, mixing by hand until it is all incorporated and the mixture is smooth. Continue adding the flour, 1/4 cup at a time, working the dough after each addition, until all the flour is incorporated but the dough is still slightly sticky. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth but still slightly tacky, 3 to 5 minutes. Oil a large mixing bowl with the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil. Place the dough in the bowl and turn to oil all sides. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set in a warm, draft-free place until nearly doubled in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Top with favorite toppings, cheese and sauce. Bake at 400 DGS F 20-25 minutes till crust is golden brown.

Pepperoni, loads of cheese, and spicy sausage with some pizza sauce. Two of them will fit onto a lightly greased cookie sheet, bake at 350 for 7 to 9 minutes. Top with another flour tortilla and pinch moistened edges to seal just to be different. --- Be positive!
