Mama Doe Days: Easy Meals

Pizza Wraps

Labels: Easy Meals, Frozen Bread Dough, Supper comments (0)

I love easy meals... And cheap meals ;). I really love it if my little fawns actually want to eat a meal.

All three? I'm in cooking heaven!!

I'd posted before (Big Pigs in Bigger Blankets) about my growing love for frozen bread dough. I told you that I'd be making more with it! And I have!

Of course you can figure out all of the possibilities yourselves, but why not give you some ideas as a jumping off point?!

This time we went for pizza wraps.

Start with a loaf of frozen bread dough

Cut it into 8 pieces and roll each piece fairly thin. Make sure to flour your surface and rolling pin (just a little thicker than the Big Pigs post linked above)

Have 1lb of ground beef browned. Mix it with just enough pizza sauce to coat it. You don't want it swimming in sauce or your bread will never cook through. If you like lots if sauce, use it as dip for your wrap!

Put a scoop (1/4 cup or so) on your rolled dough. Lay a few pepperoni slices on top, then sprinkle with cheese. Close it by folding the sides up and pinching it together on top.

Brush with melted butter and sprinkle garlic salt on top.

Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes!

The fawns loved them! They even asked for more and told me that they'd like me to make them again soon!

Plenty of people make pigs in blankets with 'Lil Smokies and crescent roll dough, but I consider those to be more of a snack or appetizer, not really a meal (unless you eat quite a few).

My girls love to eat hot dogs. Fawn 2 even asks for them for breakfast! I like them to get some bread with their dogs, but 2 and 3 year olds and flimsy hot dog buns don't exactly marry well!

I decided to get a little creative with an item that is quickly becoming a staple in our home! Frozen Bread Dough.

I've always used it for the "traditional" use... a loaf of bread, but have been trying other things lately with it (you're sure to see it in many of my future posts!) So, I decided to try it as the dough of Pigs in Blankets, and use full sized hot dogs.

I thawed the dough and cut it (scissors works best) into 10 chunks. I've cut it into 8 chunks in the past, but according to Mr. Buck, I should have done 10 or 12, but he's more about the meat than the bread. So 10 it was this time!
