An Easy Way to Make Your Own Pizza
When everyone in the family has different favorites, we've found that letting each child make a section of pizza with their favorite toppings is not only fun, but tastes good and gives a child a sense of accomplishment. (It's also less expensive than ordering out and takes very little time to do.)


We start with a ready-made pizza crust, but if there is time, you can also make your own or use frozen bread dough that has been defrosted and shape it into a pizza crust. Spread pizza sauce on top and add your choice of herbs. Oregano, basil and garlic salt or powder are basic, but you can also use mixed Italian herbs. Cover that with grated cheese. (A bag of grated cheese is easiest and grating it can be fun for an older child who likes to cook.) Then each child gets their own section and adds whatever toppings appeal to them. Bake, slice, eat and enjoy!
