Pizza pie!!! Who doesn't love pizza? My friend Jen and I try to get the kids together for a playdate once a week. It is a great opportunity for the kids to play and release some energy (makes nap time do much easier :) and for Jen and I to drink COFFEE and catch up. We usually take a trip to the park, but this time we decided to plan something fun for the kids to make. Her daughter and Jacob are eight months apart and are the perfect age for helping in the kitchen. What better than to make homemade pizza?! Her husband made the dough (how sweet, right?) and I brought the toppings. I provided the recipe to the pizza dough below. I really liked this particular dough because it was easy to roll out and soft and tasty out of the oven.
Jason's Pizza Dough:
·3 c. bread (or reg) flour
·1 tbsp. sugar
·1 tsp. salt
·2 tbsp. olive oil,
·1 c. warm water w/a packet of yeast mixed in.
·After water and yeast are mixed, mix everything together in mixer w/any herbs of choice. Let rise, covered. (Make sure yeast isn't expired)
· If you have a hook attachment for your mixer that works best, but if not, use your regular attachments.
The kids had a great time spooning on the sauce and sprinkling the toppings. Half of the toppings got eaten before the pizzas could make it in the oven. Oh well, the important thing is they had fun! Then they got to enjoy all their hard work. We are planning a cookie decorating playdate very soon. What new and creative ways have you mixed up your childs play time?
