Christmas Stocking Pizzas

If you leave out Christmas stocking pizzas for Santa Claus you'll get two times as many presents than you would if you leave out just milk and cookies!

Ingredients

1 pound pre-made pizza dough If frozen defrost overnight in the fridge then let come to room temperature on the countertop for 2 hours before using.
pizza sauce
mozzarella cheese shredded
mini pepperonis
Italian sausage Cooked and crumbled. If using links remove from casings before cooking. I like to pulse my cooked sausage in a food processor a few times to get it nice and finely crumbled.

Instructions

Preheat oven per package instructions. Prepare 2 large baking sheets, if required (some pre-made doughs require that you first grease the pans).
Print out the stocking template and cut around the edges.
Roll dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
Place the template onto the dough and cut around the edges. We found that a sharp-tipped knife or kitchen scissors worked best.
Transfer the dough to a baking pan. Keep making stockings until you're out of dough. We were able to get 5 out of a 1 pound dough but that took some thinking as we moved the pattern around. You can easily get 4 stockings without much worry.
Add toppings as desired. For a few we used sauce, mini pepperoni and then cheese all over. For the rest we used sauce and sausage, with cheese just at the top.
Bake until the dough is lightly browned and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove and let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

These are fun. You gotta make them at least once!
