Personal BBQ Pizzas, A Non dairy version too!

This recipe is inspired by one I found in Parents magazine, which if you follow my posts much you will see I gain inspiration from often!

I am constantly on the prowl for things I can make a dairy free (or low dairy) for my sweet Little Asher. What I love about this dish is its personal pizzas...easy to make a dairy free one for him and dairy filled for my Little Joy! Aside from dough rolling, this was an easy and delicious and healthy lil dinner. I generally do not like BBQ pizzas but this even I enjoyed! It's in the make once a month list!

Ingredients:

• whole wheat pizza dough (I used my bread machine and made 8-4 inch pizzas, you could buy prepared dough; my homemade dough was dairy free)
• 5 tablespoons barbecue sauce
• 1 medium carrot finely shredded (I used a zester)
• 1 chicken breast cooked and chopped
• 1/4 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
• Monzerella cheese/veggie cheese
• olive oil

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees
2. Roll dough into 4 inch personal pizzas and place on a greased cookie sheet.
3. Using a fork, poke holes in the crust and brush with olive oil.
4. Bake at 425 degrees for 8 minutes (I baked my extra personal pizza crusts and then froze them for a quick pizza another day).
5. Meanwhile, place sauce and carrots in a small sautée pan and summer for 5 minutes (you could probably skip this step but I wanted my carrots soft)
6. After the crust is done baking, top it with sauce, chicken peppers (I steamed mine with a little water for 2 minutes to soften to make them a little easier for the kids to eat) and cheese of choice.
7. Return to oven for an additional 8 minutes or until cheese is melted.
8. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
9. ENJOY!

Yield: Depends on the amount of dough you use. I made 8 pizza crusts from one batch of dough in my bread machine.

Timing: Pizza can be tough, so depending on teeth I would say 12 to 15 months. If your little one is good with his molars then this pizza is fine!

Difficulty: 3 out of 5
It really was easy minus the homemade dough part.

Little Joy: Yummy in the Tummy...she gobbled up a little over half a pizza (in addition to steamed carrots and fruit)
Little Asher: Yummy in the Tummy...he ate 3/4 of a pizza!!! Yummmm!

This is going in the short list!

Precooked crusts....presentation is not my strong suit, I aim for TASTE!

Step 5: Simmer sauce
