Recipe for your Dorm

Note: This recipe does require an oven, which all of the Camden apartments have, as well as most of the upper-class dorms. Editor Wilkinson also thinks (though she has not tried this herself) that maybe if one used a bagel (or maybe two or three bagels) instead of pizza dough, one could do this in the microwave until the cheese gets melty.

Spinach Dip Pizza

Here is an easy to make twist on a pizza that any college student can make and you don’t even need to know how to cook.

prep time: 5 minutes

cooking time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

1 pizza pre-made pizza dough

1 TGIFriday’s spinach and artichoke dip

1 tomato or 1 can of diced tomatoes

Shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)

Directions

1. First, you will need to preheat your oven to about 400 degrees. Then you will need to heat up the spinach dip in your microwave for a couple of minutes just to make it soft so that it will be easy to spread on top of the pizza.

2. Next, you will need to spread the dip on top of the pizza dough. Put on as much as you like or as little as you want.

3. After you have put the spinach dip on you will need to either cut a tomato up and put it on top of the pizza or open a can of diced tomatoes and put those on top of your pizza.

4. Then you can sprinkle some cheese on top of your pizza to your liking.

5. Finally, all you need to do is place your pizza in the oven and wait about ten minutes, checking your pizza a little before ten minutes to watch its progress, and when your pizza is cooked to the way you like it, take it out, let it cool down, and eat it!
