Dead Bread Bed

So, what do you do with bread dough that didn't rise the way it should have after all?

Make pizza :)  Just ball it up, roll that ball around on some wax paper for a minute, press it down, and use a rolling pin to shape it into a circle or whatever shape you like.  Let it "rise" in the heating oven (turned to 350 degrees) first and then leave it in there to bake (total of 20 minutes).  Flip it over, bake for 5 minutes, and top with pizza sauce and your favorite toppings, then bake for another 8 - 10 minutes.

My Pizza sauce had a little of every "meaty" or "tomato friendly" or "Italian" seasoning plus lots of cumin and paprika in it.  Then I added olive oil, sliced olives, sliced mushrooms, and chopped green onion leaves right into the sauce, then mixed them together before topping the pizza with it.  I would have added some vegan cheese to the sauce as well, but this wasn't a planned pizza, that stuff's expensive (if it's truly vegan: 0 casein), so I didn't have any on hand.  After that, I just added tomatoes (and would have then topped them with Vegan Parmesan cheese if I'd had any) and called it good.  Some finely chopped fresh oregano and basil leaves mixed with more olive oil, on top of the tomatoes, would also have been a nice touch, maybe below the Vegan Parmesan cheese.
