A few years ago, we started the tradition of making heart shaped pizza on valentines... We started this tradition after we started sharing valentines day with little people!! It has been such a fun tradition, we usually watch a movie together, and just have a fun night at home. Some years we have just made one big heart shaped pizza, but this year we decided to make individual heart pizzas. I am also sweetening my Valentines day by making the crust now, and freezing it until valentines, so I have more time for hugging and kissing!
For the crust I make Jay's Signature Pizza Crust. It is so good, and so easy! The only thing I do differently is after I make the crust, I bake in the oven at 420, for about 8 minutes. Otherwise it takes F.O.R.E.V.E.R. for your pizza to bake... And I have an impatient crew to worry about. This crust puffs up a lot so make it pretty thin... Some of mine came out a little too thick.
I used a heart-shaped candy box to shape the dough for the kids pizza!
I baked the crust for ten minutes in a 420 degree over for about 8-9 minutes before we put the toppings on!
These are some of our favorite toppings (Minus the olives, were out..) I love BBQ sauce mixed with spaghetti sauce on pizza!
The kids had so much fun!
Freezer Adaption: After you have cooked crust for 10 minutes, let cool, wrap individually in plastic wrap, and place in a zip top bag. I also put extra spaghetti sauce, I had and pepperonis! I can't wait until valentines!
One of the best things about making your pizza is using the leftovers to make awesome omelets for breakfast the next morning, I can't wait!
Enjoy, CarleeI like to link at these great parties, come join the fun!
Mmmm, that looks fun! We did something like this for Halloween with pumpkin pizzas. The kids really get into making their own.
ReplyDeleteI love making Pizza from scratch, and making the heart shapes makes it even more fun. I think it's so great to encourage kids to cook with you. Thanks for linking up with Fun for Kids Friday http://www.localfunforkids.com/
