Build-Your-Own Family Pizza Night
Par-baked homemade crusts turned into a build-your-own pizza bar, so everyone gets exactly the toppings they want. One half goes pepperoni, ham and crumbled Boursin, the other half stays plain for the kids.
Ingredients
- 4pizza crusts · made from your favorite pizza dough recipe
- —pizza sauce
- —shredded cheese
- —pepperoni
- —ham
- —Boursin cheese · crumbled
- —mushrooms
Steps
- 1
Make and proof pizza dough using your favorite crust recipe, then shape it into four crusts on pans.
- 2
Prick the shaped crusts all over with a fork to keep big bubbles from forming (skip this if you like big bubbles).
- 3
Par-bake the crusts, then pull them out of the oven and set them on a heatproof surface.
- 4
Let everyone build their own pizza on the hot par-baked crusts: spread sauce over the surface, spreading it out so it isn't dumped in one spot, then add cheese and toppings. Divide a crust in half if two people want different toppings.
- 5
Return the topped pizzas to the oven and bake about 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
- 6
Slice and serve — ideally in front of a movie.
Creator's notes
Jessica doesn't show her crust method on purpose — she uses a pizza crust recipe anyone can find online and tells viewers to find their own. Careful with the hot pan when the kids help build.

TikTokEasy One Pan Chicken Alfredo Tortellini
Creamy, cheesy chicken Alfredo tortellini that cooks in one pan in about 25 minutes. The tortellini simmers right in chicken broth with garlic and chicken, then Parmesan and a splash of cream turn the broth into the sauce.
TikTokPork Cottage Pie
A hearty, budget-friendly riff on cottage pie. Seasoned ground pork and mixed vegetables simmer in a savory tomato-beef gravy, then go under a layer of lumpy mashed red potatoes and melted cheese.
TikTokCreamy Chicken Lemon Orzo Soup
A cozy one-pot soup of seared chicken, garlicky buttered vegetables, and orzo simmered in a bright, lemony broth made rich with cream of chicken and a Parmesan rind. Spinach is stirred in at the end to finish it.
