Dairylea Lunchables Street Food Create Your Own Pizza, 65g

Product Information

The crusts are precisely six millimeters in thickness, a fact I found out using a protractor that my engineer father bought me back when he assumed I would be doing something other than this with my life. Unfortunately this tasted nothing like an actual pizza just a sugary take on the LOOK of a pizza which I semi expected.

Note: I got a lot of feedback from folks about the sauce having a ketchup-adjacent kind of sweetness. The Lunchables stuff lists cellulose powder as an ingredient, but it’s not as apparent when the product is mashed into that tiny plastic well. And in an era of crispy frico and leopard-spotted crusts, it needs to have the blinding, fish-belly paleness of me doing shirtless yard work. The brand also created two versions targeting adults, by increasing the amount of food offered in each package, but these have since been discontinued.Also, they are very large and round and three pepperoni slices on one of these small pizzas causes a bit of an overlap. Emulsifiers produced from hydrogenated fats “contain measurable concentrations" of trans fats (Hasenhuettl and Hartel 2008). Sargento makes some real thick shredded cheeses and the mozzarella version is the best for any homemade pizza.

Complete with mini pizza ‘crusts,’ sauce, cheese, and your choice of toppings, I’ll show you how to make lunchables at home in about 15 minutes. Added "flavors" are secret and often complex mixtures of chemicals that modify and manipulate the taste and smell of food. Really, the easiest way to think about this is to consider: what would you use to make a homemade pita pizza or English muffin pizza?

It has a weird, honeylike sweetness, but on inspection mostly depends on tomato paste, water, sugar, and the industrial machinations of Kraft Heinz. You choose which bread to use for the crust—whether it’s pita bread or sandwich thins, a whole wheat or white or gluten-free bread. In the United Kingdom and Ireland, the product is sold as "Dairylea Lunchers" under the Dairylea brand, originally by Kraft Foods Inc.

Ideally use ones with lids to keep everything fresh and to ensure that the pizza sauce doesn’t spill. Veggies or meat: This lunchables recipe uses cherry tomatoes, green bell pepper and black olives for the toppings. You can also use this bake-ahead option if you’re making an English muffin pizza, bagel pizza, sandwich-thin pizza, etc. If serving this to a child under 3, I recommend slicing up the pepperoni into thin strips to ensure that it’s easy to chew. Textbooks for food scientists reveal that the mono and di-glycerides and other emulsifiers are often made from hydrogenated fats (Hasenhuettl and Hartel 2008) and at temperatures above 220°C (Sikorski and Kolakowka 2011).Now that you have all of your ingredients stacked you must be thinking, What about this Oscar Mayer provided cheese? The brand also began offering lower calorie candy alternatives, rather than including the standard Reese's cup in the package. It’s a fun option for picnics and no-cook dinners, it’s an easy idea to meal prep for lunch, and it also makes for a yummy snack. Products with moderate and high processing concerns generally have more artificial ingredients, more ingredients that have been significantly modified from whole foods, and more ingredients overall.

Dairy subsidies being what they are, I’m confident you can find some completely forgettable part-skim mozzarella cheese without the kind of effort you need for the rest of this. If you don’t want to go through all of this trouble you can always eat it cold, and still try subbing in some “good” cheese.Plus, homemade pizza lunchables still bring the most important ingredient to lunchtime: the FUN of putting your food together yourself and eating it with your hands.
