MAKE-YOUR-OWN PERSONAL PIZZAS
Let your kids (and other family members) loose with a ball of dough, a bowl of sauce, and a spread of colorful toppings, and watch their creativity unfold! All you need is fresh pizza dough (cut one 14- to 16-ounce ball into 4 pieces for individual pies), a rolling pin, baking sheets, any sauce you like, and a variety of sliced veggies, cured meats, and grated or cubed cheeses. Make-your-own-pizza night is all about individuality, and it's a great way to encourage your kids to eat their veggies and explore fun new foods.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 500°F. Line two large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper or grease them with a little olive oil.
- Prep your toppings while the oven preheats, and place them all in separate bowls on a counter or table within easy reach of each pizza maker.
- Cut the ball of dough into 4 equal-size pieces. Give one piece of dough to each person and let them roll, stretch, or press it out to a 6- to 8-inch circle. Try to avoid overworking the dough; encourage everyone to form their pieces into pizza-size circles and then get right to topping.
- Place two rounds of dough on each baking sheet and let each person top their pizzas however they like! No combination of ingredients is off limits (as long as there's enough for everyone). As a general rule, two or three spoonfuls of sauce is plenty for individual pizzas. As far as the other toppings go, however, there are no limits! (Just know that the crust might be flimsy and wet in the middle if you pile on too much. Encourage your fellow pizza makers to grab pinches or spoonfuls rather than handfuls of toppings.) Pro tip: Making pizza faces (see photo above) or other patterns with colorful toppings will prevent pizza makers from overloading their crusts.
- Transfer the baking sheets to the oven. Bake the pizzas for 10 to 15 minutes, rotating them halfway through, until the crust is golden and the cheese begins to brown in spots.
- Remove the pizzas from the oven. Drizzle the pizzas with a little olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and a grind or two of black pepper if desired. Let them cool for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve the pizzas on their own or with ranch dressing, hot sauce, or other condiments for dipping/topping.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 550 degrees. Place pizza stone inside about 20 minutes before baking the pizzas off.
- Shape the pizza in individual pies. Use flour to keep the dough from sticking to your work surface. Top each pie with a drizzle of olive oil, the tomato sauce, mozzarella and Romano. Give each child their own and let them top it as they like. For example you can go traditional Italian and top it with pepperoni and onion. Or make the pizza "Hawaiian" by adding the Canadian bacon and pineapple. Place the topped pizzas on the pizza stone and cook until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is all melty.

Steps:
- KIDS: The writing in bold is for you. GROWN-UPS: The rest is for you. Mix a sticky dough. Put the flour, sugar and yeast in a bowl and get the child to make a hole in the middle. Measure 300ml water - that isn't cold and isn't hot but just right (like the little bear's porridge in Goldie Locks). Add the oil and water; point out that the two don't mix well. Stir with a wooden spoon until you have a sticky dough. Add a splash more water if needed.
- Now you need to do something called kneading. Scatter a bit more flour over the surface and tip the dough onto it. You now want to 'stretch' the dough and bring it back into a ball shape. This will need to be done for about 10 mins. I usually give children a few minutes bashing the dough about, then take over to make sure that the dough is smooth and elastic enough.
- Leave the dough to grow. Brush a clean bowl with a little olive oil, put the dough in it and cover with cling film. Leave it somewhere warm for it to grow until doubled in size. Now is a good time to tidy up and wipe down surfaces a little before you start again.
- Make a tasty tomato sauce. Crush the garlic by using a garlic crusher or by grating it on the fine edge of a box grater. Tip into a bowl and mix with the other sauce ingredients. Stir well until everything is combined, then set aside.
- Roll out the dough. Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 8. Show your child how the dough has grown, then divide into the amount of pizzas you want to make. Brush the baking trays with extra oil. Divide the dough and roll out, then lift onto the baking trays.
- Spoon on the tomato sauce. You need to be a bit more careful with this task than you think. If the dough is thin, a child can easily tear it, so make sure that they use the back of the spoon to spread the sauce over. You can now freeze the pizzas - see tip, below.
- Build your own pizza. Put all the toppings out in different bowls and let the child 'build' their own pizza. Little ones will need to be handed the ingredients as they will try to just pile up as much as they can or not be able to scatter things evenly.
- Get cooking. You can get older kids to carefully place the tray in the oven using oven gloves (see safety first, opposite). Bake pizzas for 12-15 mins until puffed up and golden around the edges, then carefully lift out of the oven. Leave to cool slightly, then slip onto a board or plate. Serve cut into pieces with houmous and a simple green salad.

Tips:
- Make the dough ahead of time: The dough can be made up to 24 hours in advance. This makes it a great option for a busy weeknight meal.
- Use a pizza stone: A pizza stone will help you achieve a crispy crust. If you don't have a pizza stone, you can use a baking sheet, but the crust won't be as crispy.
- Don't overcrowd the pizza: When you're adding toppings, don't overcrowd the pizza. This will make the pizza soggy.
- Bake the pizza until the cheese is melted and bubbly: The pizza is done baking when the cheese is melted and bubbly. The crust should also be golden brown.
- Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing: This will help the pizza hold together when you slice it.
Conclusion:
Pizza is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little planning and effort, you can make a homemade pizza that is just as good as anything you would find at a restaurant. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this Sunday pizza recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
