Hi everyone it's fruitsandveggiesmonday and this is not my entry, but would have been, I obviously can't enter because I am the judge this week. My daughter has been begging for pizza so I thought she would like to learn how to make it herself. We made two, one with vegan cheese and another with nutritional yeast flakes. I obviously had to help a bit because she is only eleven and a bit scared of the burning herself, but she did do most of it, I just told her what to do.

So first up we made the dough.

Then the part I think she enjoyed, kneading the dough.

Then we went and done a little gardening while waiting for the dough to rise. Planting peas.

My peach tree is starting to look good with the good weather we having.

And the cherry tree is also starting up.

After a little bit in the garden the dough was looking ready for action.

I fried up some tofu to make some vegan rashers, just added soy sause and liquid smoke.

Then she rolled out the dough.

The smaller pizza was the same but it got nutritional yeast flakes on top.

I baked them and we gobbled them up.

And that was an awesome time spent with my munchkin, she was quite proud of herself, it is important to make veganism interesting for kids, because it is really hard for them. Thanks for stopping by.

Looks very tasty indeed

Your daughter is a good cook, congratulations!

Thanks, she is good, and was very proud of herself

🤗

Lovely! Hungry for pizza now.. :p

Haha 😂, thanks @mydailyvegan

Awesome job papa! You can never go wrong with pizza, especially when it is prepared with loved ones!

Thanks @plantstoplanks, yeah you are right there.

wow what great father you are.
i grow up in a meat family and i was since my childhood the only veggie there. i wish more parents show their kids the healthy lifestyle of vegan food! resteemed

Thanks @lotusfleur, it is difficult for children to be vegan, other children call her a veggie freak, but I try and show her that it is actually cool to be vegan, and her favourite pop star is vegan, so that helps too.

That's sweet and fantastic, a quality time and a delicious pizza! all in one :)

Thanks, yeah we had a great time.

Luv the idea of teaching veganism to the kids 😉 and Pizza will always welcome on my plate ... but I should put the mushroom somewhere else😉 I ate everything but mushy.

Luv your post as always @gguy773

Thanks @cicisaja, oh no, no mushrooms 😯, I can't imagine living with out it 😆

This is so cool! Great job and being a Dad, Dad. These are the memories your daughter will cherish for the rest of her life, even if she doesn’t know it yet. And the pizza only looks delish too.

Thanks, it was good, we had a great day.

You’ll remember this stuff forever too :). Dad’s are the best.

@gguy773, it is always nice to teach the children and grandchildren to cook. Cooking is a great skill to have.

Yeah I agree, especially if you hungry lol 😂

Howdy sir gguy773! This looks like a wonderful project and recipe and also such a good experience for your daughter. What kind of flour was the dough made from?

Thanks @janton, I used holemeal flour to keep the carbohydrate fiber ratio right

howdy sir gguy773! oh ok, I thought you were going to say Almond Flour or something, I don't even know what holemeal flour is. lol. But the carbohydrate/fiber ratio sounds good.

It's just normal flour but unrefined, so when it is ground nothing is thrown away, it is how we used to eat bread before industrial era. Nowadays bread has very little fibre and not good for you at all.

howdy again sir gguy773! yes sir, I thought you were talking about a specific type but yes I couldn't agree with you more about today's bread nutrional value. thank you sir.

It's great that you encourage your daughter like this @gguy773! My mother used to let me cook dinner now and then when I was in high school, used to make weird concoctions but I'll never forget how my Dad would tell me how delicious it was even though I knew some of my inventions tasted awful!
Your daughter's vegan pizza must have been delicious!

Thanks, she loved it and it tasted great. I started in standard 1 in primary school, it was just me and my mom, she would work late so I would start making easy stuff like cooking rice and veggies and she would finish it off when she got home, many pots of burnt rice lol 😂

Mistakes are our best task master not so!
