That being said, this is my first real entry that involves food making and the process thereof. I decided to start relatively simple (and quick because I was hungry) with sandwich round mini-pizzas.
The last shopping trip to our local Wal-Mart Supercenter I purchased sandwich rounds. I had never heard of them before and I showed Logan excitedly
 |
| "Look look, they're a cross between pitas and bagels for $2.50 and only 100 calories a piece!" |
Our previous shopping adventure yielded us with pepperonis and pizza-blend shredded cheese. It just fell into place to try the art of mini-pizzas again. The last time I had tried to make mini-pizzas, all I had were bagels and no pepperonis, thus equaling sad mini-pizzas.

This time, I--
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP, BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
Sorry about that, the timer just went off. As I was saying, this time I have everything I need to create (and to destroy) some fantastic mini-pizzas. Here we go:
Logan's Fantastic Mini-Pizzas
You will need*:
Step One:
Separate your sandwich round into two equal halves the way its naturally sliced. Butter the tops and the bottoms of each slice. Toast in toaster, oven or toaster oven until slightly crispy and brown. (Note: the toasting is important. I read on allrecipes that this prevents the mini-pizzas from becoming soggy. A soggy pizza sounds disgusting.)
Step Two:
Pour pizza/marinara sauce onto the top side of each round, to taste. Just remember, a little goes a long way.
Step Three:
Take one slice rubber cheese and tear it in half. Put each half onto your two tiny pizzas. Now add shredded cheese, to taste.
Step Four:
Now add the pepperonis. Add pizza seasoning or any other spices if you wish. Put a piece of foil on your baking sheet for easy clean-up. Slide your uncooked pizzas on the foil. Turn the oven to 450 degrees (important not letting it preheat for too long, if any time at all, otherwise the pizzas will burn). Put the pizzas in the oven for 10 minutes or until toasted to your preference. Remove and enjoy!

In life notes with a small relation to baking, one of my best friend's mother passed away today. It's hit me harder than expected. I didn't know the woman personally, but it's someone's mom... Just another demonstration of the fact that we're only mortals and our time on Earth is very fleeting.
I'm going to go shopping this afternoon to make my friend his favorite dessert to present to him on Sunday's D&D session. He's not going to know what to do with all the coffee cake he's going to get.

Sorry about that, the timer just went off. As I was saying, this time I have everything I need to create (and to destroy) some fantastic mini-pizzas. Here we go:
Logan's Fantastic Mini-Pizzas
You will need*:
- 1 white or wheat sandwich round
- 1 jar pizza or marinara sauce
- 1 slice "fake" rubber American hamburger cheese
- 1 pack shredded cheese
- 1 pack pepperoni
- pizza spices (optional)
- margarine or butter spread
- butter knife
- pizza pan or baking sheet
- tin foil
Step One:
Separate your sandwich round into two equal halves the way its naturally sliced. Butter the tops and the bottoms of each slice. Toast in toaster, oven or toaster oven until slightly crispy and brown. (Note: the toasting is important. I read on allrecipes that this prevents the mini-pizzas from becoming soggy. A soggy pizza sounds disgusting.)

| I mean, would you bake on that pizza pan without foil? Uh huh, me neither. |

| I forgot to take a pretty picture of it on the plate before I started devouring them. |
Tips:
- Around only three regular sized pepperonis fit on each round comfortably without any overlap, but you can put as many on as you wish!
- The sliced cheese step can be omitted, but I feel as if the rest of the cheese sticks better to the pizzas if its included.
- Don't overload your pizzas with sauce or cheese, otherwise it'll all slide right off, which is what happened last time to me.
- You could also use a garlic butter spread on them instead of the butter/margarine if you wanted a Little Caesar's flair.
