Pizza Night Just Got Easier (and More Profitable!) with Cripps and Double-Batching

We all know the feeling: it's 5:00 PM, you're tired, and the question “What’s for dinner?” hangs heavy in the air. Pizza is a classic for a reason – it’s a crowd-pleaser, relatively easy, and the kids (and you!) love it. But what if I told you that making that pizza could earn you $20-$50 tonight? It’s true! With the Rogue Chefs approach, your already-doing-the-work routine can be a sweet little bonus.

Cripps Farm in Australia understands the desire for a delicious, easy meal. They bake the pizza bases so you can focus on the fun part: the toppings! Their philosophy – 'we bake the canvas so you can make the art' – is spot-on. Let's take that idea and run with it, doubling the recipe and sharing the love (and the profit!).

This Cripps Smoked Cheddar and Pumpkin Pizza recipe is beautiful, but let's level up the practicality for busy weeknight dinners. Here's how we’re going to make it a double-batch operation, perfect for selling via CrownRunner.

Double the Fun, Double the Earnings

The core principle of Rogue Chefs is simple: you're already cooking dinner for your family. Why not cook a little extra and sell it to another mom who needs a hand tonight? This isn't about being a fancy restaurant; it's about community and sharing.

Cripps Smoked Cheddar and Pumpkin Pizza – Double Batch Recipe

• Base: 2 Cripps Pizza Bases (or make your own if you're feeling ambitious!)
• Pumpkin Puree: 1.5 cups (canned is totally fine!)
• Smoked Cheddar: 1 ½ cups, shredded
• Mozzarella: 1 cup, shredded (for extra gooeyness!)
• Caramelized Onions: 1 large onion, caramelized (or use store-bought to save time – no judgement!)
• Fresh Sage: ¼ cup, chopped (or dried sage, to taste)
• Olive Oil: 2 tablespoons

Instructions (Double Batch)

1. Preheat your oven to the temperature recommended on the Cripps Pizza Base packaging.
2. Spread the pumpkin puree evenly over both pizza bases.
3. Sprinkle with smoked cheddar, then mozzarella.
4. Distribute the caramelized onions evenly over the cheese.
5. Sprinkle with fresh sage.
6. Drizzle with olive oil.
7. Bake according to the package directions, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
