Pizza Express

Children had the very exciting opportunity to go to Pizza Express to make their own pizzas! In DT, we are learning about cooking, so this was the perfect exercise to stretch their cooking muscles!

Here is how our morning went:

9.45am: Before cooking begins, the Manager ran through some important cooking basics. Things like washing hands and staying safe in the kitchen.

Additionally, children were given hats and aprons. Once we were settled, we had a pizza quiz! Children were to guess the ingredients they would use to make their pizzas.

10.00am: Ready, steady, pizza. The pizzaiolo (pizza chef) took over, showing us how to make a famous, Italian classic: the Margherita.

Step 1: Knead the dough using three fingers to make crust all around the base.

Step 2: Tomato sauce is given to each child, known as pomodoro. They had to shake their hands to spread the sauce.

Step 3: Spread out the mozzarella cheese so it cooks properly.

Step 4: Add Oregano, pepper, olive oil.

Step 6: Plate up!

Step 7: Enjoy!
