This One's For You....Jana

Sunday, we let/made each one our kids make their own pizza. They each dipped their hands in flour, flattened out their dough, spooned on some sauce and picked out their own toppings. We haven't done this a lot with our family of 8. (Okay, we have NEVER done this as a family of 8. It was a huge mess. It took hours. My kitchen isn't big enough for 8 chefs all at once.)
.
We made our own sauce which was surprisingly easy and good. We mixed up 5 packages of pizza dough (add water and stir), not knowing that 2 packages was enough to fill us all up.

So, Koby flattened little balls of dough in muffin tins,

and we made mini pizzas for leftovers.

If you look closely you'll see which one was impatient while waiting for a turn in the oven

(man I wish I had a convection oven about right now.)

One of her corners is missing ALL of the toppings.

Can you tell which one burned her arm on the pan?

Can you tell which one got first crack at the dough?

(It would be the one with 1/4 sheet of pizza.
And he was still hungry after he ate it.)
And, no, he is NOT taller than me yet.....
I should get a countdown clock and count it down? I predict 3 more months.

How fun! We haven't made pizza since we left St. George. We buy a take and bake cheese pizza from Mimi's and put whatever toppings I'm in the mood for on it. Kudos for making your own sauce. I think we only tried that once. And even more kudos for letting the kids flatten their own dough (I never even thought to let the kids do that)! By the smiles on (most of) their faces, it looks like they loved the experience!
