Cooking homemade pizza with kids this weekend - recipes?

Dec 9·1 min read

Every time we do homemade pizza nights it's chaos but they love it. My 6yo will literally only eat cheese, my 9yo wants to try weird combos (last week was pineapple and jalapeño which... wasn't terrible?). Looking for easy dough recipes that kids can help with and don't require a fancy oven. Store-bought dough is totally fine - I'm not trying to be a hero here.

We do the same thing every other weekend basically. Let them each build their own small pizza. Yeah it's messy and someone always uses too much sauce but they're invested in eating it when they made it.

The cheese-only thing will pass. Or it won't and you just make him a separate pizza. But honestly the chaos is the point of homemade pizza nights. That's what they'll remember.

Homemade pizza nights are lowkey the best parenting move because even the "failed" pizzas still taste fine and everyone feels like they did something cool. Your 6yo eating just cheese on his is him learning his own taste.

Pineapple and jalapeño is actually not terrible though? Like that combo can work if you like sweet and spicy. Your 9yo might be onto something.
