I8 and J5 finished up a unit on Little Nino's pizzeria which involved making pizza. Of course. I8 loves to help in the kitchen and this was no exception. He and I worked alone on this for the most part. We used a
pizza acitivty kit to get us started and did a little experiment with our yeast. Unfortunately, the yeast were not super vibrant and the experiment flopped a bit. So, when it was time to make the dough, we used some yeast we had on hand instead.
 |
| Our yeast was not up for making big bubbles. I think they were tired. |
 |
| Kneading was a bit of trouble- very sticky dough, but he had fun anyway. During his 4H presentation on making dough, this fingers really got stuck but he held it together. |
 |
| He let it rise and punched it down! |
 |
| Everyone loves to roll out the dough- still loving my new 2/3 sheet pans. Use them ALL the time. |
 |
| Ready for the oven! |
 |
| I think we need to bake the dough a touch before adding the toppings, then we'd have a blonder pizza in the end. This was a fun project which turned into a presentation for I8. |
I8 used these pictures on his poster for the 4-H public presentation he did on making pizza and pizza dough. He did an excellent job even though there were a few mis-haps along the way. Next year he is going to do something less complex. On the whole though, he did really well. Great job I8!

Flip the pan over - easier to roll out the dough, and halfway through baking you can slide the pizza off the pan onto a lower oven rack. That will make your crust perfect. Then use a spatula to slide the pizza out onto a cutting board when done. Yum!
