Room 19 Makes Pizza

"Who will help me make pizza?" asked Mrs Muir. "WE WILL" shouted Room 19!

We read the story 'The Little Red Hen Makes A Pizza' and decided to make pizza together. We used a bread maker to make the dough for the pizza base using yeast, sugar, water, oil, salt and flour.


The base took 2 1/2 hours to make in the bread maker. Once it was ready we were able to knead the dough, roll it flat, then add our toppings. We could choose from spaghetti, tomato paste, pineapple, tomatoes, ham and cheese. We made 4 different kinds of pizzas and cooked them in the oven in the staffroom. They all smelled and tasted delicious!
