Who doesn't love pizza, right? This new recipe for Hidden Veggie Packed Mini Pizzas is a great way to have some family fun, and get a good veggie packed meal--even if they have no idea that they are eating lots of vegetables.
We, are all about balance in our house and Sam explores any and all foods and has since he was 6 months. He currently has dwindled his "acceptable vegetable list" down to carrots, peas and green beans. So any creative way to squeeze some more into him is always a bonus to me!
Sweet potatoes, carrots, cauliflower, spinach, butternut squash, and roasted red peppers, oh my! All of this goodness is blended into this perfectly smooth and delicious sauce. And it makes a great sauce for pizza, pastas and more.
WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE THIS RECIPE:
- In a medium bowl, combine the flours, sea salt, baking powder and sugar. Whisk to fully combine. (steps 1 and 2)
- Whisk together ¾ cup of water and olive oil to combine. Slowly add the water and olive oil mixture into the flour mixture and stir or use your hands to combine. Add in the extra water, a tablespoon at a time, until all the flour is moistened and pulled into the dough. This mixture shouldn't be sticky, but should pull together. (steps 3 and 4)
- Using your hands, start to bring the dough together. If it feels too dry, you can still add a touch of water. (step 5)
- Move the dough to a lightly flour-dusted surface and knead the dough 10 - 15 times. (step 6)
- Form the dough into 4 equal balls and roll the balls out with a rolling pin to about ¼ inch thickness or desired thickness. The dough does rise, so if you don't want it too thick, ¼ inch should do the trick. Place the dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet and use a fork to poke holes into the dough. (steps 7 and 8)
Bake the dough for 6 minutes before adding any toppings. Remove the dough, add the sauce--lay it on nice and thick!
Time to add the cheese and toppings and then bake! Whatever toppings you love are perfection!
A perfect pizza party for everyone you love so much!
