Family Pizza
Pizza Base
You can use either ready made pizza base or I have a very easy pizza dough recipe or a 2 ingredient dough you can try.
Pizza Toppings
Below are three pizza topping ideas, or of course, just make your own. It can be fun for kids to build their own pizzas by providing a range of topper ingredients they can choose from.
Pizza 1 — Homus & Haloumi
Ingredients
4 mini pizza bases
4 tablespoons hommus
4 tablespoons pizza sauce (or tomato paste)
80g holoumi cheese cut into 12 slices
8 cherry tomatoes thinly sliced
Instructions
1. Spread a tablespoon Hommus and 1 tablespoon pizza sauce on each base
2. In a pan lightly dry fry the holoumi cheese both sides
3. Arrange slice tomatoes and holoumi cheese on pizza
4. Place under hot grill for a few minutes until base looks golden at the edge
5. Serve with salad
Kid friendly: kids love dressing the pizzas. Give them large spoons and using the back of the spoon they can spread the hommus and tomato paste. They can also arrange the tomato segments and place the cheese on the top
Pizza 2 — Ham, Avodaco & Cream Cheese
Ingredients
1 family size pizza base
Cream cheese
Avocado
Ham or pastrami
Salsa
Grated cheese
Baby spinach leaves
Instructions
1. Layer ingredients and finish with a sprinkle of tasty cheese. Return to the oven and grill until cheese is golden.
2. The beauty of these is that they can be snacked on throughout the day or eaten on the run.
Pizza 3 — Corn, Fetta & Tuna
Ingredients
1 ready made pizza base
1 Table spoon tomato paste mixed with 1 tablespoon cream cheese
100 g fetta cheese
Baby corn spears
100 g tinned tuna or salmon
1 avocado sliced
Cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
Instructions
1. Cover base with tomato creamed cheese mix
2. Arrange all the ingredients over the base. Cook in a moderately hot oven for 15 – 20 minutes until golden
Tip: make up a few ahead of time to freeze then you can bring them out in an emergency
Kid Friendly: kids love helping to design their own

March 15, 2012 at 1:18 pmI use greek wraps (yiros) as pizza bases as they are thick enough, but pre-cooked. Last time I grilled/dry fried a bunch of veges and some lamb. Spread with pesto and topped with lamb, zucchini, capsicum, mushrooms, asparagus and cheese. Pretty yummy and lots of veges. Toss in oven at 250o for 8-10mins.
