What is a pantry pizza you ask? Well, the best definition I have is...anything you want it to be! Pizza is so versatile that you can almost make it out of anything! It doesn't have to be on a pizza crust and it doesn't even have to be round! A lot of times I make English Muffin Pizzas for the kids and sometimes even bagel pizzas. This time, I wanted to use up some fresh Ingredients I had on hand as well as some sandwich wraps my husband brought home one day. Pantry Pizza. Use your pantry and fridge to come up with toppings! I had some fresh mushrooms and tomatoes as well as some mozzarella string cheese I needed to use up. I've had a can of black olives in my cubbord for months and some opened pepperoni in the fridge. For the sauce I just used some Great Value jarred pizza sauce from Walmart. I did sprinkle each pizza with some basil, oregano, garlic powder, and parmesan cheese. I only wish I had some fresh spinach on hand to give it some green color and a healthy crunch.
Pantry Pizza is easy for anyone to create their own! Kids making their own pizzas means they are more likely to eat it all!
Family Fun Suggestion:
Pantry Pizza Toppings Tray:
Prepare some toppings you have or even make a list (with input from the family) of toppings to get. Then set them out on a tray and let little chefs make their own! Such a fun family activity that ends with a tasty lunch or dinner!
Recipe? There is no recipe! Just find a flat bread or type of vehicle for your pizza sauce and toppings. Assemble. Bake. Eat. Enjoy!
