This is a great meal for young children to help with. You can prepare all the ingredients and have them in bowls on the table for children to add their own toppings

Ingredients

For the base:

  • You can buy ready-made pizza bases, or just use a pitta bread or even bagels. Be creative– this is a dinner but also a fun activity for children to enjoy.
  • Passata

For the toppings:

Add whatever toppings you fancy. Some colourful suggestions might be:

  • Chopped tomatoes (red and yellow)
  • Grated cheddar
  • Mozzarella
  • Black olives, halved
  • Sweetcorn
  • Ham/pepperoni/cooked sausage, chopped into chunks
  • Pineapple
  • Red onion, sliced
  • Chopped peppers (red, yellow and green)
  • Sprouting broccoli

Method

  • Spread the passata on your chosen base
  • Add whatever toppings you fancy
  • Pop in the oven for 10 mins at 200° (180° for fan-assisted ovens) – keep an eye on it!
  • Remember which pizza belongs to which child, and enjoy
