How We Did

First, I cut all the toppings and put them on plates individually. We spread the dough together. That was the first time my son touched the pizza dough, and he was surprised by its strange texture. After that, we added the pizza sauce to the dough.

He had a lot of fun adding toppings to the pizza He doesn't like olives, but he added them anyway! Too many foods were on top of each other, so we teamed up again, spread them apart, and then baked them.

The pizza looked delicious! My son realized that there were some toppings he didn't like. (Olive and basil) After removed them off, he happily ate his pizza and said he loved it!
