Bunny Pizza - By Annabel Karmel

Choccy eggs are an obligatory treat for any child at Easter but you can also introduce a few healthier, but equally fun foodie choices. Why not put a spring spin on their dinner with a Bunny Pizza! Children will love to help knead the dough and decorate the bunny faces.

Makes 4 Bunny Pizzas.

Ingredients

Pizza dough

250g strong bread flour


1 tsp dried yeast

½ tsp salt
1 tbsp olive oil


150ml water


1 clove garlic, crushed

Tomato sauce & toppings

150g chopped tomatoes


1 clove garlic


2 tbsp sundried tomato paste


1 tbsp thyme, chopped


100g grated mozzarella


50g grated Cheddar


Basil leaves, chopped

Decoration

250g ball of mozzarella


Black olives


Cherry tomatoes, sliced


Basil leaves

Method

1: Make the dough. Put the flour, yeast, salt, olive oil, water and garlic into a bowl. Mix together using a wooden spoon until the mixture comes together. Place on a work surface and knead into a soft shiny dough. Place in an oiled bowl, cover with clingfilm and leave to rise for 1 ½ hours. Pre heat the oven to 200C Fan.

2: Divide the dough into four balls.

3: Take one ball. Remove a third of the dough. Roll out to make bunny ears then roll out the remaining dough to make the bunny’s face. Place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Repeat to create three more bunnies.

4: Mix the tomato, garlic, tomato paste and thyme together in a bowl. Spread over the bases. Sprinkle the cheese over the top. Bake the pizzas for 15 minutes.

5: Decorate the pizzas with the olives, tomatoes, mozzarella, chives and basil to make the bunny faces.
