Pull Apart French Bread Pizza

Get your kids cooking with you with this pull apart french bread pizza recipe– with sneaky hidden veggies- that the whole family will love!

We love to get our kids cooking with us. Our kids love food- like our husband and we- and now that they are getting older, we love getting them involved in the action. It takes a little more patience to get dinner done when our kids are helping- but it is so much fun. We talk about their days, what things they like to eat, we sample ingredients so they understand where flavors they like come from- and we talk about where we get our food. It is a great way to help our kids learn about food- and we have a lot of fun!

Admittedly, our three and five year old kids don't get crazy excited yet about making intricate (or particularly healthy) foods yet. We stick to the basics- and they LOVE pizza. We love dinners that are quick and have hidden veggies- so this Pull-Apart French Bread Pizza is the solid match for us!

Our trick to hidden veggies is pretty simple- we shred carrots, zucchini, eggplant- whatever we have on hand- and quickly toss it in some spaghetti sauce. We then ask our kids to ladle out the sauce and top with cheese- and they are none the wiser!

Since frenchbread is pretty thick, we cut it in half, and then cut slices into it- resembling a grid- so we could stuff lots of sauce and cheese deep down into the bread. This allows for lots more flavor- and keeps the bread deliciously crunchy on top and not overly dry.
