Freeze your pizzas
If you want to freeze any pizza bases for later, roll to your desired size, spread with tomato sauce (see Step 5) and layer up between sheets of baking parchment. Wrap in foil and freeze for up to 1 month or until needed.
Throw a kids pizza party
Have the dough already made then let the kids get on with the rolling and topping. Have the topping ingredients out in bowls and get the kids to taste things they might normally shy away from, like red pepper or olives. Serve the pizzas with something to dip the crusts in, like houmous, so nothing goes to waste.
What skills can kids learn from pizza making?
MIXING AND KNEADING DOUGH to make and shape basic breads. ROLLING to later use when making pastry and biscuits. MAKING TOMATO SAUCE to use as a pasta sauce for a weeknight family meal.
