3 Minute Pizza Recipe for Easy Lunches and Dinners

If there’s one thing my kids will almost always say yes to, it’s pizza!

But when it comes to busy weeknights, I’m not always in the mood to make pizza from scratch.

That’s why I love the idea of 3 minute pizza using the Kenwood My Pizzeria Pizza Maker. Just grab your favourite pizza base, add sauce, cheese and whatever toppings you have in the fridge, and you can have a delicious, crispy pizza ready in around 3 minutes of cooking time.

And if dinner can also sort tomorrow’s lunchbox, that’s a mum win in my books!

Let the kids choose their own toppings, make a few different combinations and save any leftovers for lunch the next day. Just be prepared for some interesting creations!

Why You'll Love This 3 Minute Pizza

• Ready in around 3 minutes of cooking time

• Perfect for quick lunches, easy dinners and after school snacks

• Use your favourite toppings and whatever needs using up in the fridge

• Make extra for tomorrow’s lunchbox

Ingredients

You’ll need:

• 1 pizza base, sized to fit your pizza maker

• Pizza sauce

• Shredded mozzarella cheese

• Cherry tomatoes, sliced

• Ham or salami, chopped or sliced

• Fresh basil leaves

• Any other favourite pizza toppings

Make it your own! Swap the ham for chicken, add mushrooms or capsicum, or keep it simple with a classic cheese and tomato pizza. You can even set up a little DIY pizza station and let everyone choose their own toppings.

How to Make 3 Minute Pizza

Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients

Slice your tomatoes, chop your ham or salami and get your cheese and other toppings ready.

If the kids want to help, this is a great way to get them involved. Let them choose their favourite toppings and build their own pizza.

Step 2: Add the Sauce and Toppings

Place your pizza base on a clean work surface and spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over the base, leaving a small border around the edge.

Add your chosen toppings and finish with a generous sprinkle of mozzarella cheese.

Try not to overload the pizza, as too many toppings can affect how evenly it cooks.

Step 3: Cook Your Pizza

Preheat your Kenwood My Pizzeria Pizza Maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Carefully transfer your prepared pizza into the appliance and cook according to the manufacturer's directions. The pizza maker is designed to cook pizza in around 3 minutes, although the actual cooking time can vary depending on your base, toppings and preheating conditions.

Keep an eye on your first pizza until you know how it cooks with your chosen ingredients.

Step 4: Slice and Serve

Once your pizza is cooked, carefully remove it from the pizza maker and finish with fresh basil leaves if you like.

Allow it to cool slightly before slicing, then serve straight away for an easy lunch or dinner.

And if you're making pizza for dinner, why not make an extra one for tomorrow's lunchbox?

Can You Pack Pizza in a Lunchbox?

Absolutely! Pizza makes a fun change from sandwiches, and it's a great way to use up dinner leftovers.

Here are a few tips to make it work for school lunches.

Let it cool first. Allow the pizza to cool before packing it.

Cut it into easy pieces. Small triangles or squares are perfect for little hands.

Make extra. If you're already making pizza for dinner, cook an extra one for tomorrow's lunchbox.

Keep it chilled. Pizza with cheese and meat toppings is perishable, so pack it with an ice pack in an insulated lunch bag or keep it refrigerated until needed.

You can also mix up the toppings each time. Try ham and cheese, chicken and cheese, or a simple tomato and mozzarella combination to keep things interesting.

Meet the Kenwood My Pizzeria Pizza Maker

If your family loves pizza as much as mine, the Kenwood My Pizzeria Pizza Maker is a handy appliance to consider.

It's designed to cook pizza in around 3 minutes and features a removable 30cm ceramic pizza stone.

For busy families, the appeal is being able to prepare homemade pizza quickly without having to turn it into a big cooking project. You can keep the toppings simple, use up ingredients already in the fridge and let everyone make their own combination.

It's a fun option for family pizza nights, quick lunches and those afternoons when the kids are hungry and you're looking for something a little different.
