4th of July Pizza Flags Recipe for Kids
Oh my, the kids do love a pizza we have a pizza night every week and although most of the time we make our own dough sometimes we really don’t have the time so I always have some pizza dough in a can ready to go.
So last 4th of July we got a little creative in the kitchen and made some flag pizzas, they were such a hit that the kids have asked to make them this year again! That’s one less thing that we will have to cook.
Using ready made dough means that it’s less mess and less time in the kitchen ideal as with family around they want to be playing with cousins and friends as well.
