Asian Pear Pizza

This one is family sized.

Many people may think that a fruit pizza is a strange thing to have in a children's cooking area.  However one of the things with education and children is that children are usually more open to variations in recipes and food from different cultures than adults.  There fore when adults support what could be a healthy diet extra then children will follow suit.  Especially when that same recipe for a big family size pizza is made into child size portions from the beginning.  Making child size portions does take extra dough  though.


Ingredients

• Cover the work area first.
• One amount of pizza dough.
• 2 to 3 Asian Pears - cored and very thinly sliced. [better a more experienced knife handling person do this section] let the slices drain off for a short while.
• 120 gr [1/8 lb] of Pancetta (bacon) -cooked until crisp and drained on paper towels.
• 50 g [2 to 3 oz] of Gorgonzola cheese - crumbled.
• 90 g [ 4 oz] Mozarella cheese - shredded.
• freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Method

1. Preheat oven to 220 deg C [425 deg F].
2. Roll out the dough into pieces that are child size. 
1.  I have found the best measurement was from the wrist to the large finger tip.  These may be square or round in shape.  Usually depends on how many children you are cooking for at one time.
3. Pre cook the dough so that the dough is not soggy when the children eat this pizza.
1. Cool this pizza base so that there is less heat for the children to work over.  Also cooler base has the actual oven heat melting the cheeses when placed into the oven again for cooking.
4. Starting from the outside work around the edges and towards the middle covering the Pizza shape with the slices of the Asian Pear.
5.  Since the Pancetta , as well as the Gorgonzola cheese, is relatively strong in flavour go easy on these as they are crumbled onto the top.
6. A sprinkling of shredded Mozarella will hold everything together.
7. bake until the centre has melted completely.
8. Remove from heat and cool.
9. Slice and enjoy

Marshmallow bunnies

A few years ago a friend made some children I know bunnies similar to these.    The children enjoyed receiving them. A major challenge with these bunnies was to then get the children eating them.  Most thought that they wanted to save them for later. Sometimes they actually got the bunnies home.  Other times there was no way that was going to happen.

Ingredients

• Marshmallows.
• Scissors
• Tooth pick
• Food Colouring
• A little icing sugar if needed.

Method

1. Hold the marshmallow in your fingers so that while you are using the scissors the Marshmallow will have less chance of moving.
2. To make the ears:
1. Using the scissors make a diagonal cut towards the rim edge of the Marshmallow .
2. Stop before you get too near the top end of the Marshmallow.
3. Gently lift the corner that you have snipped.
4. Now snip along the middle of this piece. 
5. Rub a little of icing sugar between your fingers.
6. Separate the ears and angle them both outwards.
3. To make the tail.
1. Starting at the point of the first cut you made for the ears.
2. Snip down towards the back [away from the face direction] until you are about half way down the back of the Marshmallow. 
3. Pinch the end of this segment so that a cute little tail is made.
4. For the bunnies face [ and feet]
1. Starting about midway between the face and the where the front feet will be - snip about 0.7 cm [1/4 inch] towards the middle /bottom part of the body.
2. The upper side of the cut has become the lower jaw line of the face.
3. Snip the flap of the marshmallow in half. 
1. There are you two front feet.
5. Using a toothpick and a little food colouring - dip the end of the tooth pick into the dye.
1.  'Paint' a face on the bunny.

3. At this point either 
1. Melt the chocolate button 
2. or make the icing mix.
4. Along the length of the fruit strap or sour strap. Then make these into 8 cm [3 in] lengths.
5. Turn the end upside down and place of the joined.
6. Join these pieces together with the Melted chocolate or icing sugar.
7. Onto one of the ends of the Chocolate Coated finger take a dab of icing sugar or chocolate mix.
8. Place two brown M & Ms near what will be the top end of the tree.
9. Now place both the stick and the 'palm leaves' together.  
10. Wait for the chocolate or icing mix to set.
11. Carefully turn the tree up the other way.
12. Place the base of the tree in through the 'sand'.
13. Add a few more brown M & M's on the sand.
