It’s a cold Sunday and not much to do. I find it’s hard to keep our kids entertained. This is a great way to keep them busy and well fed: let them make their own pizza for lunch! This recipe is really easy and kids really love to make and eat their own creations.
Each child can make their own dough by hand then use a wide variety of toppings, such as peppers, tomatoes, onions, olives, mushrooms, and even pineapple (a favorite in Australia). We also use, tomato sauce and a choice of different spices. The recipe above makes one 12-inch pie, which usually comes out to four servings. If I don’t have any sauce I use marinara sauce. (my favorite is gefen classic marinara sauce).
