Pizzas for Kids

Everyone loves pizza, especially children. Have your kids make their own!

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

  • uncooked pizza dough or English muffins
  • soy or dairy cheese
  • pizza sauce
  • toppings such as mock pepperoni or sausage slices, olives, mushrooms, and pineapple

Preparation:

I'll leave the amounts up to you on this one, depending on the age and number of your children. Prepare a pizza dough the night before your party or gathering or, buy ready-made uncooked dough. Provide each child with a baseball sized amount. Kids can mold and shape the dough themselves into their own pizza crust. For a simpler alternative, use English Muffin halves as ready-to-go crusts.

You can buy a can of pizza sauce ormake your own. For a healthier version, puree vegetable marinara to use as sauce. Depending on the age of your little guests, you can have kids squeeze pizza sauce onto their pizza from a plastic squeeze bottle or spread on from a bowl. Have kids assemble their own personal pizzas!

Bake at 425 degrees for 10-15 minutes or, if using English muffins, bake 5-10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
