In our house, Thursday is pizza night. Since I'm already preparing fresh homemade challah for Shabbos, I use the same dough for my children's favorite meal.
My children are fans of the Margarita pizza (probably because there are no visible vegetables) but my husband likes testing new flavors.
I often allow my kids to make individual size pizzas for themselves. This is a fun activity even if I'm unable to convince them to add anything healthy to it.
A quattro pizza is basically a pizza, divided in 4, and a different topping in each part.
Due to the fact that I don't currently have a milchig oven, and have to make this in my toaster oven, I had to change the quattro to a Duo Pizza. To get four flavors, I made two duo pizzas.
Quattro Pizza
- 1 recipe pizza dough (or challah dough)
Bake in preheated oven from 10-12 minutes. (if making Sunny Side-Up topping, place pizza in oven for 5 minutes, add egg and then continue baking for remainder minutes till egg is set and the rest of the pizzas look ready.
Topping 1 - Roasted Garlic and Red Pepper
- 1 bulb of garlic
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 onion sliced in circles
- pizza cheese (when making these pizzas I used mozzarella/cheddar blend)
- olive oil
- oregano
Smash garlic with fork, add a few drops of olive oil to form thick paste. Brush paste on one section on pizza. Scatter thinly sliced red pepper and onions over garlic. Cover with shredded cheese. Drizzle with a little olive oil and oregano.
Topping 2 - Hot Pepper
- jarred hot banana pepper circles.
- pizza sauce - homemade or store bought
- pizza cheese (when making these pizzas I used mozzarella/cheddar blend)
- olive oil
- oregano
Topping 3 - Onion and Heart of Palm
- 1 slices onion
- 1 heart of palm - sliced in 1/4" slices (from a can, save rest of can for another use)
- pizza sauce - homemade or store bought
- pizza cheese (when making these pizzas I used mozzarella/cheddar blend)
- olive oil
- oregano
Spread pizza sauce on one section of pizza. Scatter onion slices and heart of palm over pizza. Cover with shredded cheese. Drizzle with olive oil and oregano.
Topping 4 - Sunny Side Up
- 1-2 plum tomato - thinly sliced in rounds
- 1 egg
- black pepper
- pizza cheese (when making these pizzas I used mozzarella/cheddar blend)
Margarita Pizza

Spread pizza sauce on one section of the pizza. Cover with shredded cheese. Drizzle with olive oil and oregano.
Bon appetit,

looks so good! I always make my own pizza dough and sauce from allrecipes.com, sunny side up pizza looks like my next try:)
ReplyDeleteYum! These look delicious- your kids are lucky to have such a yummy supper on Thursdays - in our house its hot dogs, straight up!
ReplyDeleteStarted making pizza on Thursdays, years ago, using Mia already made crusts, making it a super easy meal for a busy Erev Shabbos. But Mia pizza used to be much better, so we had to make a change. It's still an easy meal since I'm already making challah dough.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the key to making sure the dough is baked through, before the toppings get burnt (which has been my experience in the past)
ReplyDeleteThe way to get a crisp pizza like from the store, you need to use a pizza stone which will give equal heat around. Without the use of the stone, the pizza dough will remain softer but its not raw, and is still delicious.
