Here’s a quick tip for those last-minute dinner panics. We were experimenting last week with a kids’ recipe book version of non-yeast pizza dough. We had made our batch of dough, and discovered that it wasn’t going to be enough. So we needed a fast alternative–with not even a morsel of bread anywhere in the house. What to do?
What I DID have was a package of whole-wheat pita pocket-bread. Somewhat skeptical, I nonetheless pulled them out. I put the whole pitas on a sprayed baking sheet, spread a dollop of pizza sauce on each, sprinkled with a mix of shredded mozzarella and provolone cheese, and topped with pepperoni. We baked them until the cheese was melt-y, about 8-10 minutes. The total effort took us about 12 minutes. When they came out of the oven, the pizzas tasted perfect! They didn’t taste like a Mediterranean Mistake. The pitas actually made great crust! So next time you hit the grocery store, pick up a few packages of pitas for the freezer, for the next dinner emergency.

My kids would often make their own pizzas with tortilla shells as pizza crusts. It was quick and easy and the crust was crunchy, which they like. Anything to make cooking alittle more inviting to my kids was a blessing.
