Friday night can be a fun family pizza night - home made. This recipe will help your kids enjoy learning how to use and cook vegetables.
Ingredients:
- Pita bread rounds (or pre-prepared pizza bases)
- Tomato paste (or half-and-half with tomato sauce if straight tomato paste is too sharp)
- A selection of colourful raw vegetables, finely sliced beforehand by an adult: onion, mushroom, capsicum, zucchini. Fresh pineapple pieces too if you like.
- A selection of special toppings to choose from : a little cheese, or tuna, or olives,
- A sprinkling of dried oregano
Method:
Heat the oven to 220°.
Lay the pizza base on an ovenproof tray, and spread with tomato paste. Arrange the selection of toppings out on the bench. Now, allow your child to create their own pizza, selecting whichever toppings they like. Just go easy on the cheese. Expect a mess to be created on the kitchen bench.
Bake the pizza for about 15 minutes, until the base and toppings are browned.
Option: Make smaller pizzas by cutting the base into shapes first. Who says they have to be a circle or a square?
