Chef's Tips
  • Let kids assemble their own pizzas for maximum engagement
  • Pre-bake the base for 3 minutes if you want it extra crispy
  • Set up a "pizza bar" with different toppings in bowls
  • Make faces or patterns with the toppings for extra fun
  • These freeze well after baking - great for busy nights
