Hello
I am doing a kids show Any ideas on what to have them make?
Thanks
Kristen
 
I would make little pizzas using Grand biscuits.
I have each child roll out their own biscuit with the Baker's roller. Then I have sauce in a Prep Bowl with a Bamboo spoon to scoop and spread. I use mozzarella sticks for the kids to either peel strips or cut with the my safe cutter. Then I have pepperoni and mushrooms for a choice of toppings.
I usually cook them at 375 for about 12-15 minutes.
Have fun, they love making them.
 
I don't really have any ideas, but I have looked through the files and found some GREAT files, outlines, etc...I think I just searched for "cooking with kids"...remember, for kids it is all in how you sell it! The crazier the name of the recipe the better...hope that helps!
 
That is true. Not all the kids will like the pizza, but they all love being able to do it all by themself!
