My kids love taking luchables to school for lunch. So, usually once a week or so I let them. Their favorite is the pizza lunchable. On Pinterest recently I saw an idea to make your own and decided to give it a try!!
For the pizza crust I made a homemade whole wheat pizza dough:
Whole Wheat Pizza Crust:
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- 1 1/2 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Then I portioned them out into small crusts and baked at 425 degrees for about 18 minutes. I had doubled the recipe since my family was having pizza for dinner. A doubled recipe made 1 large pizza, 1 large batch of bread-sticks and 10 mini crusts.
Once they were room temperature I bagged them all up with 1 crust, a small bag of cheese & pepperoni and a small bag of sauce. Then stored them in the fridge until we packed up lunches.
A perfect healthier option to a pizza lunchable!!
What do you think each of your packets cost?
ReplyDeleteGood question! I'll have to do some pricing out and let you know.
ReplyDeleteThese would be great to have on hand at home when the evening is busy and kids are coming and going at different times. Thank you for sharing.
