Making Pizza With Kids

Okay, you have 10 kids under 10 years old coming over to your house and you have to entertain them. You are looking for something interactive and fun. You also have to feed these kids… What do you do? The answer, Make Pizza!


Kids love spending time in the kitchen if you can make it a fun, interactive and yummy experience. Creating mini pizzas is a great way of engaging kids; so pull out your aprons and get cooking.


When cooking with children it’s important to let them get their hands messy and experiment a little. Kids love to pour, measure, mix and taste their own pizza creations. Unfortunately, kids can’t be counted on to be neat in the kitchen, so a little relaxation and patience will carry you a long way.

Safety First in Pizza Making:

Pizza making offers a good opportunity to discuss kitchen safety with children. You can discuss points like kitchen dangers; think knives, boiling water, etc. An alternative to lecturing is to give frequent reminders of what is okay to touch and what they should stay away from. You will also want to establish kitchen rules, like washing hands and not touching the stove or electric mixers.

Integrate Learning in Pizza Making:

At this point, you have already taught the kids about kitchen safety, but there is a lot more that you can teach when making pizza with children. School age children can use their math skills as they help measure and combine ingredients. Just think of all those wonderful fractions that need to be added, reduced, etc.


You can also take the opportunity to talk about good nutrition by discussing the ingredients you are choosing and why. Also, don’t be afraid to add fresh vegetables, you’ll be amazed what kids will eat when it’s covered in cheese and on top of a pizza they’ve created.

Pizza Making Quality Time:

Probably the best reason to make pizza with kids is for the quality time. Think about how much fun a mini pizza assembly line is, especially when the children are in charge of choosing their own crusts, cheeses, sauces and toppings.


Be sure to compliment the child on a job well done and offer your child the first taste of the pizza. Ask what they think and you may even consider having them judge the pizza on the taste, dough, toppings, etc. This will give them a chance to figure out what they might change for next time.


Here are some easy pizza recipes and pizza dough recipes that you might consider making.

Make Better Pizzas Using A Pizza Stone

Making a pizza is easy, but achieving the right taste needs the right tools. Having a pizza stone in your arsenal is something that can make a big difference next time you have guests over. Let's learn the basics about this secret pizza cooking weapon.


There are many tricks to make your homemade pizzas taste even better without having to do any extra work. One of the best known is the pizza cooking marvel also known as a pizza stone. This is made from a flat piece of porous stone that distributes the heat evenly throughout the entire base of a pizza. The porous stone absorbs a considerable amount of water from the pizza, and this allows for a uniform cooking process that produces a deliciously crispy outer layer.


A pizza stone, or several for that matter, are often found in commercial kitchens as they are regularly used by chefs. A pizza stone makes a big difference in the consistence of a pizza without having to do any extra work or adding any additional ingredients.


The best way to keep your pizza stone working properly for many years is to keep in mind the porous nature of the material. The correct way to clean a pizza stone is to use hot water in the process. Avoid detergents at all times to prevent the pizza stone from absorbing any unwanted chemical compounds. Thermal stress is another thing that should be kept in mind. If you heat the pizza stone too quickly it could break into pieces.


The most advisable way to do it is to allow the pizza stone to heat up for 30 minutes. A similar approach must be followed whenever the opposite happens. If you put your pizza stone in cold water while it is still hot it will instantly crack. Wait for twenty minutes or more so it is completely cool before you wash it.


To conclude, a pizza stone is a practical and simple way to make your pizzas taste even better. Just do not forget to clean it with clean water, and avoid using any kind of detergent.

Kate's Best Basic Pizza Sauce

Ingredients:
35 ounces canned crushed San Marzano tomatoes
1 teaspoon basil
1 bay leaf
1 clove garlic, peeled & crushed
2 tablespoons tomato paste
pinch of salt
pinch of sugar

Directions:

Pour the contents of the tomato can into a heavy saucepan. (If they aren't crushed, simply mash them up with a fork.) Add the herbs, garlic, tomato paste, salt and sugar. Bring to a bubble over medium heat, stirring to mix the seasonings. As soon as the sauce begins to bubble, turn the heat to low and maintain the sauce at a gentle simmer. Cook, uncovered, stirring from time to time, for at least twenty minutes. The longer you cook the sauce the more flavorful it will be.
