We recently bought a
Ninja blender at Costco and have been experimenting with it. We are really trying to "make-it-ourselves" instead of buying ready-made when it comes to food items. The Ninja makes great smoothies and salsa, but I wondered how it would do with making
pizza dough. Our kit also came with a recipe book which I highly recommend. {The most important bit of advice I have is that when adding the flour, only add it in small increments.}
I also found this
Pizza Learning Pack from
Living Life Intentionally and we incorporated much of it for a fun {yet educational} day. I didn't take many pictures, but here is one of the printables in action. I use it inside a reusable dry erase packet I found in the dollar section at Target. My husband works from home and is very much involved in the day-to-day schooling of our children. I am very thankful for him!
We also were able to get copies of Pete's A Pizza
book and
movie from our local library. The kids really enjoyed the movie and I did too (since I didn't have to read it!).
And finally we made pizzas. We made ours on wax paper...I do NOT recommend it! I had a terrible time moving them onto the
baking stone. Either make directly on baking surface, or on parchment paper which can then be slid onto baking stone.
I did not take any pictures of the finished product because (ahem) let's just say they baked a little too long and the dough raised quite a bit more. They were not very pretty, but the kids still ate them. Next time I will make some adjustments, but overall it was a fun and easy dinner!
I am so glad that you have been able to make use of my Pizza Pack!! It is always so cool to see my work in action at others homes =-) You are all linked up on my blog - Have a WONDERFUL Easter!!
