Galilee Green Kid-Friendly Pizza

We are always looking for fun activities to do with the children and grandchildren when they drop by in the summer.

When the family visits you can turn meal-preparation into a fun activity for the kids.

It saves some wear and tear on the adults and lets the little ones take pleasure in making their own lunch! And everyone LOVES pizza!

Depending on what is age appropriate we allow them to chop or slice their favorite vegetables or tear up the cheese slices and place them on the pie. They can also help kneed the dough,  roll it out with the rolling pin, or even help spread the pizza sauce.

Drizzling and smearing on the Galilee Green Olive Oil is especially fun.

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp dry yeast
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 2 1/2 cups warm water
• 6 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 tbsp ground flax
• 1 tbsp salt
• 3 tbsp Galilee Green olive oil

Directions:

• Combine the dry yeast, sugar and warm water in a bowl and set aside
• In a separate large bowl combine the flour, ground flax, salt and olive oil
• Add the yeast mixture into the large bowl with the flour mixture
• Knead the mixture until if forms a dough
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit
• Use a rolling pin to roll out the crust thinly (you can use a round pizza platter or a rectangle cookie sheet
• There should be enough dough for 3 large pizzas
• Drizzle some more olive oil onto the pizza and spread it on the dough
• Add your favorite pizza sauce
• Place your favorite sliced vegetable toppings onto the sauce
• Cover the pizza with shredded cheese or torn cheese slices
• Bake until the cheese is bubbling and the edges begin to turn brown

The best part of this recipe are the proud smiles on the kids’ faces!

And the kids are never disappointed with the results. After all, they made it themselves!

Enjoy!
