When organising a pizza party for the family, prepare the dough the one or two nights before. Portion out and store pizza dough in individual food containers. The above pizza recipe could be scaled up or down depending on the number of attendees. Larger portions of toppings could also be prepared before hand. Remember to preheat your oven at least half an hour before your guests arrive. Have a timer at the ready and you’ll find your own pizza-baking rhythm soon enough so, no worries at all.

It’s easy and fun! Even your children will find it so.
