Whole Wheat mini pizzas
I used to make these a lot as a kid. While I do make-your-own pizzas with the kids using tortillas – English Muffins are fun too because provide a nice hefty base for mini pizzas.
Using whole wheat English Muffins is a nice way to slip in some nutrients for the kids, say if they only put sauce and meat on their pizzas. I’m talking about the Baby, here.
ingredients:
whole wheat english muffins
pizza sauce
mushrooms
pepperoni
olives
any toppings you like
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prep baking sheets with silpats.
I put all the ingredients out mise en place style and just let the kids go for it. I try very hard not to tell them what to do, since they get more excited about cooking/eating when they get to do it all on their own!
I like to give one silpat lined pan to each kid, that way after they ‘build’ the pizza, you can just slip the pan right into the oven.
Bake for 10-15 minutes until everything is melted together nicely.
The kids love this dinner because they get to be so involved. And as I say, no one can complain about dinner…because they made it themselves. Ha!
