Ingredients
Here are some ideas for pizza toppings for your mini pizzas:

- Then top with desired pizza toppings and cheese.
- Bake 10-12 minutes, until the edges are brown.
Notes
This homemade pizza recipe is easy for kids to make. Of course, they need to be careful and I highly recommend that you put the pizzas in the oven for younger kids so they don’t burn themselves. Our middle schooler loves to make his own mini pizzas for weekend lunches or after school snacks!
Great use for stale bread or english muffins too.
LOVE watching your kids learn to take care of themselves, in this case, cooking!
We have used bagels and English muffins to do this too. A great quick way to use up leftover spaghetti sauce if your family doesn’t use the full jar on pasta night :-)
We love making mini pizzas! Something else for you to try is what we call skillet pizzas. Use a skillet with a lid. Use a tortilla and put a little dab of sauce and smear it around and add whatever toppings you want. Put it in a sklllet with non-stick spray, let the bottom crisp. Add the lid just long enough to melt the cheese. My kids love to make these for a quick before practice snack or when friends come over. I about always have the small tortillas on hand, an open jar of sauce in the fridge and some sort of shredded cheese, chopped veggies or leftover meat.
