Mini pizza for huge pizza fans!

Few days ago we showed you an amazing video from Little Chefs because we all love pizza so much! Kids love it because it’s tasty; students love it because it’s cheap and easy to prepare; men love it because it’s perfect with beer and Italians love it because it’s pasta. However, ready-made pizza is not healthy at all while the one you can get directly on your door step is quite expensive. This is why we found an amazing solution for you! It’s the mini pizza recipe!

Gummies Daily, 2012

Ingredients:

Sliced bread

Tomato sauce

Yellow cheese

Salami/ Ham

Mushrooms/Corn/Pickles/etc

How to make?

Put some tomato sauce on each on of the bread slices. Put few pieces of salami or ham . Add some corn, mushrooms or pickles – anything that you like and cover them with cheese. Bake in pre-heated over for a couple of minutes. Usually takes about 15-30 minutes but you will know when they are ready when the cheese melts perfectly on the slice.

To avoid burning the bread, cover the bottom of the backing dish with foil!

Ever wondered what’s going to happen if you let your kids do the cooking.. Here’s the video that summarises all your concerns:

Crocodile pie

Here’s the amazing recipe that Gabriela Vlahova just sent us on our e-mail: pr.dragonfly@yahoo.co.uk

Crocodile pie (Gastronom, 2008)

Ingredients:

For the dough:
1 pack of dry yeast
2 spoons of sugar
1 pinch of salt
1 egg
250 ml warm milk
6 tablespoons of oil
500 grams of flour

For the filling:

2-3 cabbage leaves
2-3 onions
500 g minced meat

How to make?

1. Mix the eggs, yeast, milk, vegetable oil, salt and sugar together. Weigh about 500 grams of flour and knead the dough until it stops sticking to your hands. Form a ball cover with a cloth and leave it in a warm place.

2. Start with the filling. Fry the cabbage, onions and meat. Put some salt and add pepper.

3. Throw rectangular layer of dough, cutting the edges to be equal. Mind that the remnants of  the dough will  be used later on.

4. Put the dough in a big pan and cover it with filling. We start from the corners by making incisions in the selvedges – thick slices about 3-4sm. Crossing the shallow, leaving only the first (shape it as the head) and last (shape it as a tail).

5. Use the rest of the dough to form nostrils, eyes and legs. Use scissors to form the teeth and to decorate the whole body. Use your imagination!

6. Bake in oven at 200 degrees until browned. 10 minutes before you take it out, cover it with beaten egg.

Jam Cheese Macaroni

Stephanie Stiavetti (2012)

Are you struggling to find good and healthy recipes for your children?  I can help you. This is my first suggestion: simple/cheap and most importantly tasty.

Ingredients:

1 package of macaroni

jam

1 package of mature cheddar cheese

1 table spoon of oil

How to make?

First, take a big pot. Add  1 table spoon of oil, then boil some water on the hob.  When the water starts to bubble, add the macaroni and stir occasionally. The macaroni should be ready in 10 minutes. Once they are boiled properly, add some cheese on top of them and microwave them for 1 minute so that the cheese can melt and then add some jam. My favorite type of jam is strawberry but you can experiment with cherry/apricot or whatever other flavor you prefer.
