Ingredients:
- Naan rounds or Pita bread
- Pizza sauce
- Cheese (mozzarella or a blend of your choice)
- Optional: Assorted toppings (e.g., sliced vegetables, cooked chicken, olives, etc.)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
- Lay out naan rounds or pita bread on a parchment lined cookie sheet (we usually make ~6 at a time).
- Set up the toppings:
- Lay out an assortment of toppings in bowls or small containers. Encourage your kids to choose their favorite ingredients and get creative with their combinations. Sliced vegetables, turkey pepperoni, cooked chicken, and olives are great options, but feel free to customize based on your family’s preferences.
- Top the pizzas:
- Have your kids spread pizza sauce onto their naan round.
- Let their imaginations run wild as they sprinkle their chosen toppings evenly across the sauce. They can stick with just the always reliable cheese topping or encourage them to layer ingredients and experiment with different flavors.
- Bake the pizzas:
- Bake the pizzas for 5-6 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Once the pizzas are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. When they are cool enough to handle, slice the pizzas into kid-friendly portions and serve them fresh from the oven. You can then gather around the table, be proud of the 5 easy steps to kids pizza you took and savor the delicious homemade pizzas that you and your kids have lovingly prepared!
