Pull Apart Pizza Slice
Pull Apart Pizza Slice
This easy Pull Apart Pizza Slice is a fun, family-friendly recipe that’s perfect for baby-led weaning, toddlers and older kids too. Made with puff pastry, passata, mozzarella and your favourite toppings, it has all the flavours of pizza but in a soft, tear-and-share style slice that little hands will love.
It’s ideal for quick lunches, picky toddler meals, lunchboxes, picnics or an easy dinner when you need something simple but still delicious. You can keep it vegetarian with finely diced peppers, mushrooms and cherry tomatoes, or add shredded chicken for extra protein. The puff pastry bakes until golden and crisp on top, while staying soft enough for younger children to enjoy once cooled.
This BLW pizza slice is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables or cooked chicken, making it a flexible, no-faff recipe for busy parents. Slice into squares and serve with cucumber sticks, fruit, yoghurt or steamed veggies for a balanced baby and toddler-friendly meal.

Remove as many from the freezer as you need and defrost fully at room temp or overnight in the fridge. Place the food back on a baking tray in the oven at a low temp. Heat until piping hot throughout.
