Who doesn’t LOVE pizza?! These delicious homemade mini pizzas are easy to make, and a great way to get your little ones involved in cooking! You can top them with whatever you like, or have in your fridge, and they are the perfect lunchbox addition!
The sweet potato base, makes for a wholesome dough, and is a wonderful way to add more starchy, root vegetables into your little ones diet.
Great for Birthdays, picnics, or cold as snacks on the go.
- 550 grams boiled sweet potato
- 1.5 cups white spelt flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Topping
- 125 grams tinned tomatoes
- 1 tsp dried mixed herbs
- 1 clove garlic minced
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
Peel and dice the sweet potato
Boil the sweet potato until soft and drain
Mash the sweet potato well and then mix the flour, salt and baking powder together in a separate small bowl. Add in the flour to the dough, reserving a little incase it is not needed
Keep adding the flour and mixing in well until a dough has formed – it should be only very slightly sticky. I find I do need to use all of this flour
Flour your benchtop well and a rolling pin, and place the dough down on the well floured surface
Roll out gently with the rolling pin to a thickness of just under 1/2 centremetre. Place the rolled pizzas onto a baking tray
To make tomato sauce for the topping, mix the tomatoes, mixed herbs, minced garlic, salt and pepper together in a bowl.
Top with the homemade tomato sauce and mozzarella
Place into the oven to bake at 180 degrees for roughly 20 minutes until slightly golden and crisping up around the edges
* Possibly you may need to add a touch more flour to the dough, you will know if you do as it will be hard to roll out and place onto the baking tray without sticking. Flouring the surfaces well will help but they should be easy to roll out & transfer. If not, add more flour to the dough
* You can really top these with whatever you wish!

Can you freeze these bases once cooked? :)
Kate - Boob to Food says:
We haven't tried, but it should work ok. It would be best to par-cook them so they hold their shape to freeze, and then you could finish cooking them when you add the toppings.
Polly says:
Thank you! They’re so delicious!

Do these last in fridge and can they be rewarmed?
