A quick and wholesome recipe for homemade pizza Lunchables using whole wheat crust, perfect for nutritious and kid-friendly lunches or snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour (240 g)
  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 3/4 cup warm water (110°F / 43°C)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce (no-sugar-added preferred)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (100 g)
  • 1/4 cup mini pepperoni slices (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons finely diced green bell pepper
  • 2 tablespoons sliced black olives (optional)

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast by mixing warm water (110°F/43°C) with honey and yeast in a small bowl. Let sit for 5 to 7 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour and salt. Add olive oil and the activated yeast mixture. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add a little flour if sticky, but avoid over-flouring.
  4. Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes to 1 hour until doubled in size.
  5. While dough rises, prepare sauce by mixing tomato sauce, oregano, basil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  6. Punch down the risen dough and roll out on a floured surface into a 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick rectangle.
  7. Spread sauce evenly over dough, leaving a 1/2 inch border. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and add toppings like pepperoni, green peppers, and olives.
  8. Cut dough into 2×2 inch (5×5 cm) squares using a pizza cutter or sharp knife.
  9. Place pizza squares on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12 to 15 minutes until crust is golden and cheese bubbly.
  10. Let pizza pieces cool completely before packing into small containers. Add optional sides like carrot sticks or fresh fruit.

Notes

Do not rush dough rising for a lighter crust. Use a thin layer of sauce to avoid sogginess. Give pizza pieces space on the baking sheet for crisp edges. Rotate tray halfway through baking for even color. Dough can be doubled and frozen for later use.
