| For flavour that pleases, switch up the cheeses Posted: 15 Aug 2011 06:55 AM PDT
The fun thing about making pizza at home is that you can go beyond the classic ingredient combinations featured on ready-made pizza, and use your family's favourite cheeses and toppings to make your own house specialty. Here are a few suggestions to get you started! Mexican style: Diced Canadian Monterey Jack with jalapeno, Canadian Cheddar French style: Canadian Brie, Canadian Swiss. Greek style: Crumbled Canadian Feta, grated Canadian Mozzarella. Italian style: Sliced fresh Canadian Mozzarella, shaved Canadian Parmesan, Canadian Provolone.  |

When it comes to eating, no two kids are the same. Some are stretchers, some are nibblers, some are unabashed gobblers. But one thing you can be sure of: all kids love pizza. As we head into fall, there's no better time to take advantage of all the freshness of the harvest. You can use your favourite Canadian cheeses to make tasty pizzas that can turn almost any occasion into a nutritious feast you'll be proud to share. Pizza toppings can be a matter of strong personal preference. People can be particular about crusts too. The one thing you can count on is that everybody loves cheese. You can put virtually anything you like on any sort of crust or bread you like, sprinkle it with any Canadian cheese you like, and have hot, homemade goodness ready to serve in a matter of minutes. You don't even have to start from scratch. While making your own pizza dough is easy and rewarding (especially if you turn it into a family activity), not everyone has the inclination or the time. You can buy it ready-made, cooked or frozen, or use one of the other bases suggested in our recipes. It takes all of five minutes to add your favourite toppings and Canadian cheeses. Give your little ones something they're sure to love, and rest assured that if the cheese you're eating bears the 100% Canadian Milk symbol, it's made entirely from Canadian milk renowned for its quality and great taste. You're also supporting the hard work of Canadian farmers and sharing in their pride. Anyone who has ever played with modelling clay, fingerpaint or sand knows that half the fun is digging in and getting your hands dirty. The other half is letting your imagination take over, and seeing where it takes you. Cooking at home is really the same kind of game, especially when you're using any kind of dough. Getting kids involved in the kitchen is a fun and easy way to teach them about responsibility and creativity. The key to success is gauging how much they can handle. This is easy to do with pizza dough: you can start by giving a young child a small ball of dough to roll around into different shapes, or roll it out flat. If this seems to be going well, you can give them a little more dough and invite them to try making a crust. As always when working with kids, being spontaneous and creative can lead to interesting surprises. What happens if we try to make a square pizza? Or a triangle? Or two kinds of pizza on the same crust? How can we use our imaginations to make this pizza even more delicious? You may be wonderfully amazed by the answers kids will find.  |
