Traffic Light Mini Pizzas

Posted 2013-10-08 by Jane Street ⇒ follow

These yummy mini pizzas are a great way for kids to get creative in the kitchen. The process is really simple and the pizzas cook in 10 minutes, so it's a great project for even the youngest kids.

Earlier in the day, we talked about how we might want to decorate the pizzas - e.g. make faces, make patterns with different toppings etc. My daughter settled on traffic light pizzas. We went shopping and picked out red, yellow and green vegetables together to top our pizzas with.

Time: 15 minutes plus 10 minutes cooking time
Age: Any age
Level: Easy

Materials
(Makes 3 x 4 inch pizzas)

Approx 100g natural yoghurt

Approx 1 cup self raising flour

Tomato passata

Grated cheese

Red, yellow and green toppings (we used red and yellow capsicum, cherry tomatoes, spinach leaves)

The base is only made of yoghurt and flour and tastes amazingly yummy

Set out the toppings for the kids to easily select and decorate with

Method

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.

Spoon the yoghurt into a bowl.

Add the flour slowly, mixing with a spoon or hands.

You want to get to a bread dough consistency so add the flour slowly and stop when it looks good. Add more flour if the mix is too wet.

Knead the dough for a minute.

Split into three balls and roll flat on a floured surface. Use a cup or dish to cut out a neat circle.

Stamp out a neat circle using a small bowl or cookie cutter

The final pizza base should be around half a centimetre thick.

Set out the chopped toppings next to the pizza bases. The idea is that the kids can easily choose the toppings and have fun arranging them on the pizza bases.

Spread the tomato passata onto each pizza base.
