Hi there, I’m Anya! I’m excited to be back again today to help my mom while she’s working on some more exciting things to share with you later. A couple weekends ago we decided to make homemade pizzas. Have you ever done that before? I really liked it because I got to watch the yeast grow & my mom taught me how to knead the dough. I really liked that part. It was a really great experience because it was something we all did together as a family. Besides, who doesn’t like pizza? It’s so good & making your own makes it all the better!

We had already created some regular size pizzas when mom thought it would be really fun to make some small, personal sized ones too. She was really inspired because she had tripled the batch of dough so we could have enough to get really creative. She had also just picked up a brand new basil plant & was really excited to use it. So with a can of pasta sauce, some homemade dough, leftover chicken from tacos the night before & some extra toppings we made these super delicious pizzas that I’m already craving again.

Notes

*Can be made with my 2-ingredient pizza dough.

You can also make this with french bread - just butter half of the french bread - cook for 3-5 minutes to toast. Then add toppings and cook for another 8-12 minutes or until hot and melted. (a great option would be buffalo chicken or crack chicken.

**Can be made in the air fryer - cook at 400 for 10-12 minutes.

If making the french bread pizza in the air fryer - cook at 400 for 3-5 minutes.
