Pizza
Pizza dough mix (Packet dough where just water is added - in the UK Sainsbury’s sell their own brand Italian pizza base mix)
Tomato puree or chopped tomatoes
A choice of toppings as suggested below:
Mushrooms
Ham
Pepperoni
Pineapples
Pepper
Tuna
Cheese
To make the base follow the instructions on the packet - this usually means adding water to the powder mix and then kneading into a dough on a floured area. Once the dough has come together the children can be given a small piece each and shown how to stretch and pull the dough for a few minutes. The children can then form the dough into a flat round shape, by flattening with their palms. The dough needs to be put in a warm place for 10 minutes on a greased and floured tray or non-stick baking paper, during which time the toppings can be prepared.
If working with a small group of 4/5 children they can help prepare the toppings by peeling the mushrooms, cutting the ham, pineapple etc and grating the cheese with an appropriate amount of help. Obviously care must be taken with knives and graters.
When the dough has rested then let the children spread either tomato puree or chopped tomato on their pizza base and then add their choice of topping.
Cook as stated on the packet usually about 15/20 minutes at 220°C until cheese is golden brown.
Remove from oven and leave to cool.
