What's For Dinner Wednesday Week 7

Pizza with the Kids

 

This one is a fun activity to do with your kids. My son is 3 and he really enjoyed it. Now, I will say, it's not exactly creative as far as a recipe goes. Pretty much just packaged stuff. However, if you're really into cooking... feel free to make your own sauce and dough, or even pepperoni and cheese.

Ingredients Needed

1 Package of pizza dough (usually in the refrigerated section)

1 Container of pizza sauce

1 LB mozzarella cheese, grated

1 package pepperoni (or any other toppings you prefer)

Some flour

Supplies Needed

Spoon

Bowls for ingredients

Cookie sheet

Rolling pin

Directions

1) Grate cheese, place ingredients in bowls, and bring dough to room temperature

2) Sprinkle some flour all over the cookie sheet and place dough in center

3) Sit down for some fun with the kids, or let them do it themselves. Show them how to roll out the dough, pick it up and stretch it, maybe even toss it in the air a few times. 

4) When dough is stretch to desired size, cover it with the pizza sauce, then cheese, then pepperoni (or whatever toppings you are using)

5) Bake in oven per instructions on your pizza dough package or 30 minutes at 375

6) Slice, cool, and serve with some fun chicken nuggets and salad for the whole family to enjoy.
