Chicken and Veggie Pizza

Bisquick

2 cups Original Bisquick Mix
1/3 cup very hot water
3/4 cup spinach dip
1 cup chopped cooked chicken
1 medium tomato, seeded and chopped (3/4 cup)
1 package (8 oz) sliced fresh mushrooms
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (6 oz)

Move oven rack to lowest position. Heat oven to 450 F. Spray a 12-inch pizza pan with cooking spray.

In medium bowl, stir Bisquick Mix, very hot water and 1/4 cup of the spinach dip with fork until soft dough forms. Beat vigorously 20 strokes. Press dough in pizza pan, using fingers dipped in Bisquick Mix; pinch edge to form 1/2-inch rim. Bake 7 minutes.

Spread remaining 1/2 cup spinach dip over partially baked crust. Sprinkle with chicken, tomato and mushrooms. Sprinkle with cheese.

Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until crust is brown and cheese is melted.

Note: I sauteed the mushrooms in hot skillet with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil for about 3-4 minutes.

I also think that the oven temperature was too high considering that the oven rack was moved to the lowest position so the crust baked completely and it was brown at the bottom. If I baked it for 12-15 minutes, the pizza would have burned but every oven is different. I did baked it for 7 minutes as the recipe said and then, added the remaining ingredients on top and baked it at 325 F until the cheese was melted. No need to bake longer since the crust was completely cooked.
