It's Friday... and the Olympics are on (tonight and for another week). What better night than to make some homemade pizza, kick-back and relax while watching this world-wide sporting extravaganza?!
Wagner, Lisa.Cool Pizza to Make and Bake (Easy Recipes for Kids to Cook).
2007.
Abdo Publishing Co.
Review copy borrowed from local library.
This is a very interesting concept book for kids, as it shares not only some easy pizza recipes for their enjoyment, but is also full of information relevant to the making of pizza - tools that will be needed, cooking terms, and even the coolest pizza ingredients (although I was disappointed that my personal favorite, flatbread shells, weren't among those mentioned)!
Learning/Reading Activity:
- Share the book together as a family. Mention that each person will be allowed to create his/her personal favorite for Friday Night's Pizza Party!
- Determine what your "crust" will be... Traditional dough, bagels, or pita bread?
- What kind of cheese(s) will you use: Monterey Jack, Mozzarella, Parmesan, Cheddar?
- Toppings? Mushrooms, Black (or my favorite, Green) Olives, Pepperoni, Canadian Bacon, Pineapple, Onions, Green Pepper? Or any others that your family deems necessary for the perfect pizza!
- Purchase the required ingredients... if making tradition dough, work together as a family to do the mixing!
- Work together and recreate the Pizza-Riffic sauce (recipe is included)!
- Then, top your pizzas your way! Offer each other ideas and suggestions to increase communication as a household!
- Kick-back, settle down in front of the Olympics and enjoy those pizzas!
