Homemade pizza
- Age: 12–18 months (Family food)
- Texture: Family meal
- Prep: 20 min
- Cook: 12 min
- Makes: 2 adults and 2 children
Ingredients
- 250 g plain flour
- 1 tsp dried yeast
- 150 ml warm water
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 200 g passata, no added salt
- 100 g mozzarella
- a handful soft vegetables: pepper, courgette, sweetcorn
Contains: Wheat, Milk
Method
- Mix the flour, yeast, water and oil into a dough; knead 5 minutes and leave to rise an hour.
- Roll thin, spread with passata, top with cheese and vegetables — your child adds their own.
- Bake at 220 °C for 12 minutes. Cut your child's into strips and cool; salt the adults'.
Safety: Melted cheese stays hot — wait. Sweetcorn squashed. Serve your child's portion first, then salt the rest for the adults.

Tip: Pizza a child helped make is pizza a child eats. Shop pizza is mostly salt; this one has none in the dough.
