Veggie Personal Pizzas

Ingredients

• uncooked pizza dough or English muffins
• soy or dairy cheese
• pizza sauce
• toppings such as mock pepperoni or sausage slices, olives, mushrooms, and pineapple

Preparation

I'll leave the amounts up to you on this one, depending on the age and number of your children. Prepare a pizza dough the night before your party or gathering or, buy ready-made uncooked dough. Provide each child with a baseball sized amount. Kids can mold and shape the dough themselves into their own pizza crust. For a simpler alternative, use English Muffin halves as ready-to-go crusts. You can buy a can of pizza sauce ormake your own. For a healthier version, puree vegetable marinara to use as sauce. Depending on the age of your little guests, you can have kids squeeze pizza sauce onto their pizza from a plastic squeeze bottle or spread on from a bowl. Have kids assemble their own personal pizzas! Bake at 425 degrees for 10-15 minutes or, if using English muffins, bake 5-10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
