Pizza, Mommy please!

"Pizza, Mommy please, pretty please! I'll do the dishes, promise!" Wow, I was quite shocked with my children's explosive answers. Did I imagine it, or was there a  just-give-us-junk-food-for-a-change hidden in there somewhere? I am grateful that my children are not picky eaters at all and they will eat whatever I place in front of them(well, almost), but maybe because they never complain, I have forgotten what children really like to eat. I can just imagine the conversations at school. ... "what did you eat last night?

" Oh, we ordered pizza!" says little Johnie. "We had green bean stew with cucumber raita, says the little Timm children. " Oh my word, my poor children.....

I love making pizza, so it is not like my children have never had homemade pizza, but  yesterday I was just flat, I could not lift my arms. I was running a temperature and really just wanted my bed. I know, I know I could have just ordered take-aways and be like all other normal mothers, but heck no, normal I am not when it comes to cooking! The whole process of making my own  dough could have been avoided if I was willing to to buy ready dough from our local baker, but the thought of getting into my car and drive somewhere was inconceivable. I had to make another plan........  I spotted the wholewheat wraps on about my third trip through the deep freeze to try and get some inspiration.  Problem solved! It was a matter of throwing a few ingredients together and voila, easy homemade pizza!! Happy kids?





Easy Pizza



serves 4



Ingredients

8 wholewheat wraps

1 tin of chopped tomatoes - I used chopped tomatoes with basil, garlic and oregano

500 gr mozzarella cheese grated

12 cocktail tomatoes- halved

fresh wild rocket

12-16 shavings of prosciutto

1 red onions - sliced thinly.





Method

Preheat oven to 200C. You need two wraps per person. Place 4 warps on pizza plates and  scatter some grated cheese on them. Top with the other 4 wraps. The cheese sandwiches the two wraps together and cause for more yumminess and a steadier base. Spread some of the chopped tomatoes on the 4 sandwiched bases, top with cheese, a few halved tomatoes and fresh herbs(I used some thyme) and bake in a hot oven for about 8-10 minutes.

When the pizzas come out the oven, top with fresh rocket, slices of onion and prosciutto and serve immediately!
