This is a fun family time experience that allows the kids to be hands on with you in the kitchen as a special treat on Valentine's Day! Making a mini-pizza bar is a fun way for children to express their likes while making something delicious. I use refrigerated pizza dough, because it is quick and easy. Remember most of prep and cook time will be for the "grown-up's" meal! Here we made Pesto and Tomato Pizzas!
Ingredients: 1 can refrigerated pizza dough
Marinera sauce or Pesto Sauce
Mozzarella cheese, grated
Any toppings desired, such as:
mushrooms, sliced
Italian sausage, cooked
canadian bacon, sliced
pineapple chunks
tomato slices
basil ribbons
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to directions on dough package. Roll out Pizza dough on flat, dry, lightly floured work surface. With a paring knife, freehand cut out hearts for individual pizzas. (You could also use cookie cutters, but these would be rather small). Bake dough as instructed. Remove and begin adding toppings.
2. Let the children help you put on the sauce of their choice. Add cheese to the pizza hearts- as liberal as they want - remember this is for their enjoyment. Add
3. Have the children assemble their desired toppings and bake remainder of time as instructed on dough package.
