So my kids had friends over and I thought this would be easy. From experience, I know to cut up all my toppings first and have them ready in bowls. That really is the most time consuming part. Then I mixed up a double batch of crust and then cut a 1/3 off of the dough (that was for me and hubby's pizza later.) I then cut the remaining 2/3 into 4 pieces. I rolled them out and put sauce on them and then let the kids top their own.
I made these rather big, we like thin crust. However, I could have made the pizzas smaller with thicker crust. The kids only ate about half of their pizzas. They had a lot of fun picking their own toppings and I didn't have to worry that I had the right choice of pizza like when you order out (oh plus it's a lot cheaper!)
I could also mention here that my daughter has a milk allergy and this is a perfect way for me to make sure I know what is in her food. I cook from scratch a lot because of this. I have found it has been a huge blessing in our lives, because it makes me be so much more aware of what we are eating. I try to make things that are affordable (think, from scratch), but healthy and tasty!
The hubby even enjoyed picking the toppings for our pizza. :)
About 12 minutes in the oven and they are done!
My tip: Some times for the thin crust pizza, I like to bake the crust for about 3 to 4 minutes, let them cool a few minutes and then add my sauce and toppings. They are crispier that way.
Enjoy!
