What a fun classroom week it has been! My sophomore Foods and Nutrition class has successfully completed safety procedures, measuring basics, and knife skills which means it’s time for our first real lab! Even when I work with students who have some cooking knowledge, I always plan a few easy recipes at the beginning of the semester to help them get acclimated with their station and working as a group. The first cooking unit we cover is dairy. Students are educated on nutritional content, storage, and preparation of various dairy products. Earlier this week I demonstrated how to make a basic white sauce using a roux and milk. It’s such an easy technique and a great skill for my students to have. In order to practice working with dairy products, students each prepared their own mini pizza using just a tortilla shell, pizza sauce, and cheese. What a fun afternoon it was! This recipe is also a great way for my new students to practice pre-heating the oven, setting a timer, and using potholders :) Check our how great out little pizzas turned out! Want to make your own mini pizza? This super simple recipe is below!
Mini Pizzas -Pizza sauce -Toppings of your choice -Shredded mozzarella cheese -Mini soft shell tortillas 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 2. Place tortilla shells on a cookie sheet and bake for 5-10 minutes until slightly crispy. 3. Top with: sauce, toppings, and cheese. 4. Bake until edges are light brown and cheese is melted (approximately 10). 5. Remove with potholders; let cool for 5 minutes and serve. Mini pizzas can can be made with many different ingredients you already have at home. Biscuits, bagels, and and flatbreads work well as the crust. Barbeque, Alfredo, and hot sauce can be used in place of pizza sauce. Pie fillings or Nutella work great for dessert pizza!
