Funny Face Pizza (Kids)

Serves 4

250g strong white plain flour, sifted
1/2tsp salt
1/2tsp easy blend dried yeast
1tbsp olive oil
125ml hand-hot water
90ml ready-made tomato pizza topping
55g mozzarella, grated
55g Cheddar cheese, grated
cherry tomato slices
salami slices, halved
pepper strips
ham strips
1 can sweetcorn

Combine the flour, salt and yeast in a large bowl then made a well in the middle.  Add the oil and enough water to make into a soft and pliable (but not sticky) dough.
Turn the dough onto a lightly-floured surface and knead for 5 mins or until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled, clean bowl.  Cover with a tea towel and leave in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly-floured surface and knead again for another 2-3 mins.
Divide the dough into 4 equal amounts and then roll each into a 12cm circle.
Place on a lightly-greased baking tray.  Leave to stand for a further 30 mins or until the dough has risen.  Preheat the oven to 200, gas mark 6.
Spread the tomato sauce over the bases.  Mix together the cheeses and sprinkle over the pizza.  Use the other ingredients to decorate the pizzas to look like funny faces.  For example, use tomato or salami for eyes, pepper strips as a mouth, ham strips as hair and sweetcorn as teeth.
Cook in the oven for 8-10 mins or until the crust is golden brown and the topping is bubbling.
Use a palette knife to lift the base from the baking tray and check the dough in the centre is properly cooked. Serve with salad or veg.
