Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a pizza pan (12-13” diameter) with cooking spray. If you don’t have a pizza pan you can use a 9” round pan or a 9×13” pan but baking times will be affected.

Prettiest fruit pizza ever! I am pretty sure my girls will beg me to let them make it this weekend! Pinned!
Oh my gosh square dancing drama! In our school district they do it in 6th grade and I remember my daughter being so stressed out over it every day. The boys wouldn’t want to touch the girls and there was always all this drama! Glad that’s over! This pizza looks amazing and I wish I could have made it back then to comfort her! I guess I will have to make it this weekend or for the 4th! Yum!
I can imagine the stress in 6th grade. By then boys and girls no longer have cooties! 🙂
This is beautiful, Dorothy! Pizza with a red velvet crust is my kind of pizza!
That fruit pizza looks so delicious!! And I love the red velvet crust, so yummy!!! Pinned 🙂
I love square dancing! All through grade school, each class would perform at a square dance show for all the parents on a warm spring evening. I thought it was very exciting to actually touch a cute boy’s hand or arm during the dance. Then I went to a brand new high school, and the locker room of the gym wasn’t finished yet, so for the first 2 months we square danced in the gym, girls lining up on one side, boys on the other, to pair up (you would count down the line to see who you would get). Ah, memories! Try it with Mel – you’ll love it.
