Does anyone make homemade pizza lunchables??

[jennsvs]

My son has become addicted to pizza lunchables, but it is getting expensive. I have an abundance of pizza sauce and cheese, but I cannot find a good crust. I have been looking for something that is already made that I can just cut to size and also a recipe for a dough I can make then freeze. I am looking for something that is the same texture and about the same thickness.

If anyone has made these for their kids (or themselves), please give me an idea on what you have found that is consistant with the lunchables crust.

Thanks.

Try using flatbread.This is the most similar to pizza crust IMO.It should freeze fine.

Naan works. Buy it at any International Market. Freeze it until you need it.

In the "What's for Dinner" thread someone posted about making, I think, homemade pizza pockets. Just wondering if that would work too but you would need to ask them how they're done.

You know kids today are really lucky on their school lunches. There are so many choices available for them.

My husband is a pizza nut to! I found a recipe for a pizza roll-up thing that he really likes. You take an wheat tortilla wrap and spread some pizza sauce on it. Then add shredded mozzarella and spinach or pepperoni (or nothing else). Microwave for about 30 sec or until cheese is just melted. Let sit for abou 10 min. Then roll up and slice into bite sized pieces (looks like sushi rolls). I put them in his lunch box for work. My two nieces liked them too.

I bought some flatbread, he likes it. However now I have to find a good sauce. I had a squeeze bottle of the Contadina brand...that didn't go over well. It was not very good. Anyone know what brand they use in the Oscar Mayer lunchables?? He loves that sauce.

I use the pepperidge farm deli flats. (They even have a gold fish shaped one that I am sure kids would love) The work wonderfully. The sauce doesnt make it soggy and its easy for little hands to handle. Just the right size.

I buy any of the canned sauces that don't have high fructose corn syrup in them. The best one is over $5.00 a can so for sure not cheap because the cans are small. More recently I have been buying whatever they have in the deli department of Winco.

I have never had a Lunchables pizza so don't know what the sauce tastes like. But I am betting since it is aimed at kids, it would be overly sweet. What I do when I make pizza for my daughter (and only for her) is to mix some plain tomato sauce with ketchup. I only use a little bit of each. She doesn't like a lot of sauce. I also add some pizza seasoning that I get from American Spice. If I don't have any of that in the house I just use Italian seasoning.
