Pizza Dough Transformed

Let's face it, and with all due modesty, I'm a genius. I was peering into the fridge this morning in search of something exciting (!) to eat when I espied a bag of Trader Joe whole wheat pizza dough with a due date of this very day.

OMG, today?  Hmmm....So I took out the dough,  cut it in half, warmed it in the micro, and fired up my countertop convection oven.  I spread out ( with a glass) the dough, sprinkled it with sugar and cinnamon, and then rolled it up. Then I stared down at it, added a tad more cin/sugar, and remembered a vision from the distant past--of someone cutting the dough into smaller bits before baking. ( The real bakers out there are roaring with laughter over this, my epiphany, but, hey--baking never was my strong suit, ok?!)

I bet it was a Pillsbury commercial of some kind, turning its refrigerated,  additive-filled white biscuit (?) dough into cinnamon rolls.

Who knows. In any event, the 4 resulting mini rolls were perfect, 2 eaten with swiftly cooked-in-olive oil scrambled eggs, and accompanied by  a good strong Scandinavian blend cuppa.

The 16 oz.package of dough costs $1.29 here in Albuquerque, and I have half left. ( Whole wheat flour, oil, yeast, sea salt.)

All I need to do now is create some baking powder frosting, freeze it, and then go crazy with this notion on a lazy Sunday morning.

NB This took all of maybe 15 minutes.........
