Kids Homemade Pizza Party

A
kids
homemade pizza party is fun for all ages. It is a great way to
celebrate a birthday or any celebration by letting kids create their
own pizza. For this kids cooking party you will want to download this
homemade
pizza recipe
card
for each child that will be at the party. This will give them each a
chance to follow the recipe while they are preparing the menu. It is
also a good idea to include an extra one for them to take home, one
that won't get messy. They can impress their own family with what they
learned at the cooking party.
It is also a good idea to write the menu on a sheet of paper hung on
the wall or chalkboard. You can even make this look like a restaurant
menu.
Once you know the number of children coming go through the list of
things needed especially utensils, bowls, etc. If you need extra ask
friends or family if you can borrow some items for the kids homemade
pizza party.

Homemade
Pizza Dough
If you have more than 6 children double this recipe.
2 ½ Cups flour
1 teaspoon Salt
1 Cup warm water
1 Tablespoon yeast
1 Tablespoon Italian seasoning or to taste, optional
1 Tablespoon oil

Pizza Topping Ideas:
spaghetti sauce
mozzarella cheese, shredded
pepperoni slices
ham slices or Canadian bacon
pineapple chunks
pepper slices
sliced mushrooms
sliced olives
Dissolve yeast in warm water and add a dash of
sugar. Meanwhile, in
mixing bowl add flour, salt, oil and Italian seasoning. When yeast is
bubbly and ready pour into flour mixture and blend. Form into a ball
and place in a oiled bowl. Let rise 30-60 minutes. Prepare pizza
toppings and place in bowls on table.
To start this kids homemade pizza party divide dough into balls one for
each child. Have each child roll with rolling pins or use their hands
to shape their ball into a round circle. Place on cookie sheets or
pizza pans. Several children can share a pan. Have each child put their
name next to their pizza with masking tape. Prepare pizza by spreading
sauce over their pizzas with a spoon, top with cheese and desired
toppings. Have an adult bake at 450 degrees for 10-15 minutes.
Depending on the size of your oven you might have to bake the pizzas
one pan at a time. While waiting for all the pizzas to cook, prepare a
dessert or other recipe you have planned, decorate aprons, chef hats or
play cooking games.

If
you have an older group of kid chefs they might like to prepare the
dough also. If doing this step, prepare dough in mixing bowl with
children taking turns helping add and mix ingredients. While dough is
rising do another scheduled activity.
