Turning Pizza Dough into Variety for the Kids!
All kids love pizza, but if you start offering a couple of different kid items, you could end up having an entire kids’ menu – something all parents are looking for when they go out to eat! So what else can you offer them? How about macaroni and cheese bites?!
Macaroni and cheese bites are really easy to make using the wholesale pizza dough that’s already in your freezer. All you need is to buy some packaged macaroni and cheese, or you can make it yourself. Whichever you choose, make sure that it’s cooled completely so you can handle it.
After you’ve made the macaroni and cheese, lay out raw pizza dough shell on a lightly floured work surface. Then cut the dough into squares that are about 3” x 3” in measurement. Spoon a small teaspoon of macaroni and cheese into the center of each. Then the way you close them is up to you. You can either fold one square over the mac n’ cheese to make a triangle, or you can place another square right on top of the first with the macaroni and cheese. Whichever way you choose, make sure you squeeze the air out around the pasta in the middle, or it could burst during baking.
When ready, just brush them lightly with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and bake in the oven for about 15 – 20 minutes. You need to make sure that the dough is brown and crisp, and that the macaroni and cheese is piping hot in the middle.
When ready to serve, of course place alongside a big heap of ketchup!
