Notes

Bottled pizza sauce can be used if you have it on hand – I make my own since I always have tomato sauce in the pantry.

To bring refrigerated cream cheese to room temp, heat a mug/small bowl of water in microwave for 1 minute. Open cream cheese packet, cut into squares and place on a plate. Put cream cheese into microwave along with the hot water and close door. Leave in for 1 minute – DO NOT turn microwave on. Cream cheese should be soft enough to work with after 1 minute.
