Monday’s Leftovers: Kids Love to Cook!

Michael wants Pizza for his 3rd birthday. So we did a trial run. Today he made peanut butter cookies with mom and then pizzas with dad. He did so great! Audrey and I were recalling all of our found memories of helping moms and grandmas in the kitchen as kids. Cooking with kids is such a connecting thing.

Did a whole wheat pizza on the gas grill. Then two regular crust pizzas: one on smoker and one on gas grill. Used some left over BBQ sausage as well as peperoni & mushroom. The crust was a simple dough recipe from America’s Test Kitchen Cookbook. Makes 3-4 pizzas depending on size.

4 1/2 C Bread Flour (Suggest Bread Flour instead of AP, but AP would work)
1 3/4 C warm water
Package Instant Yeast
1 1/2 t salt
2 T Olive Oil

Cooked on hot pizza stones on both the grill and smoker. Of course the grill was better since I could get over 500 degrees. Smoker was only running 340 max tonight. Because is was below freezing out.
