Our three year olds had a fun week with pizza. We talked about the 'parts' of a pizza to introduce vocabulary. We talked about dough, crust, sauce, toppings, cheese and mozzarella. We discussed what sauce is made of (tomatoes), what toppings you can put on a pizza and the color of mozzarella (white). We graphed our favorite pizza. The favorite? Cheese.
Today we made 'Bubblegum Pizza'. Bubblegum pizza? Well, I think the name comes from the way the pizza looks on the pan and when the cheese pulls. Who knows? This recipe is a favorite with my youngest son still because it is so easy to make. Almost all the children LOVED it! With adult supervision, your child can make bubblegum pizza at home.
You will need:
mixing bowl
spoon
cookie sheet or pizza pan
cooking spray
1 can refrigerated biscuits
pizza sauce
shredded mozzarella
Preheat oven to 400* and spray cookie sheet. Tear the biscuits into small pieces and put in bowl. Cover the biscuits with pizza sauce and mix. Biscuits should be covered with sauce but not runny. Pour the biscuits on a greased cookie sheet. Top with mozzarella. Bake 12-14 minutes.
We used four cans of biscuits and fed fifteen children. Most had seconds and some had thirds. At home, we have put on topppings and then the cheese. Yummy!
