Sweet potato pizzas offered as an idea for children's lunchboxes
Latvian public media LSM's family section suggests making pizzas from sweet potatoes instead of the usual dough, so they can go into children's lunchboxes. The idea is part of a column on cooking together with children.
The family and children section of Latvia's public media outlet LSM has published a recipe idea for children's lunchboxes: pizzas based on sweet potatoes rather than traditional pizza dough. The piece appears in a column about cooking together with children.
An unusual idea
The authors acknowledge that few children turn down pizza, but that an offer to make it from sweet potatoes may be met with a suspicious look. They say such a reaction is understandable: it raises the question of what potatoes have to do with pizza, and where the usual dough has gone.
The article builds on exactly these doubts. It presents pizza as a food children already know and like, but made differently from the usual way.
Who it is for
The recipe is meant for children's lunchboxes, that is, food a child can take to school or another activity. The headline describes these pizzas as tasty and stresses that they can be prepared together with children.
The published introductory excerpt does not say which ingredients are needed, how long the dish takes to cook or how many portions it makes. Readers can find these details in the full LSM publication.
