Funny Face Pizza

Gluten-Free Gourmet

Personalized Pizza

Here’s one recipe that’s actually cute! Who can resist a smiley face pizza? It’s very easy to make and sure to bring a grin to any child’s face!

First is the mini-pizza crust. Follow the Basic Pizza Crust recipe (1/2 c. sifted flower, 1/2 t. salt, 1 egg yolk, and 4-6 T. water), only use a 9 x 12 buttered cookie sheet and spread the batter in 5 circles on the sheet. Bake them for 10-12 minutes in a 375 oven.

Meanwhile, boil 3 dried tomatoes til soft. Mash them well. Spread the tomatoes gently over the pizzas once they’re baked to give a nice flavor (and skin tone).

To assemble the face, arrange shredded cheese on the top half for hair; small wild blueberries for eyes; slices of carrot for nose; and celery sliced across the stem for mouth. Stick them back in the oven for 8-10 minutes to melt the cheese.

You can get creative in finding other foods for the features; you could even try a cat or dog face! A wonderful idea for children’s parties!
