If there is one thing kids love more than eating pizza, it's being able to make it themselves using all their favourite toppings. Creating a "make it yourself" pizza party is a great way to customize the meal while involving friends and family in a fun activity. Best of all, this crust recipe, which uses a surprise ingredient, is simple enough to make at home without making a mess of the kitchen. The secret to this simple crust is the addition of potatoes. Idahoan brand flavoured Mashed Potatoes were recently named the best-tasting instant mashed potato compared to major national competitors by the American Culinary ChefsBest. Incorporating these convenient, 100 percent authentic Idaho potatoes in the crust adds moisture and rich flavour to this homemade version of one of America's favourite foods. The following recipe for Fresh Tomato and Zucchini Pizza uses fresh summer produce; however, when making pizza at home, each person can substitute his or her favourite toppings. With this versatile recipe, you can enjoy a delicious homemade meal that enables everyone to eat the pizza that they love. Fresh Tomato And Zucchini Pizza Crust: 1/2 cup dry Idahoan Roasted Garlic flavored Mashed Potatoes 1 cup boiling water 1 cup all-purpose flour 3 tablespoons olive oil 1 teaspoon salt Topping: 3 plum tomatoes, thinly sliced and patted dry 1 small zucchini, thinly sliced 1 tablespoon olive oil Salt and ground pepper to taste 4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese 2 tablespoons fresh shredded basil or 1 teaspoon dried basil Combine dry Idahoan Roasted Garlic flavored Mashed Potatoes with boiling water in a bowl, using a fork to moisten all potatoes. Let stand for one minute. Add flour, olive oil and salt to potato mixture. With hands, knead mixture until dough forms a ball. Let rest 5 minutes. Preheat oven to 400 F. Press dough into 12-inch by 8-inch baking pan. Arrange zucchini slices and tomato slices over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
