Name: Playful Pizza
Dough Mix
Company: Sweetpea
Pantry
This kit was
generously sent to me to write about for you!
This kit is a first
for me (there’s been a few of those recently) it is the first kit I have made for
this blog and ever, that isn’t dessert and I’m really excited about it! I vaguely
remember making my own pizza at a friend’s house when I was younger but the
dough was made by their mother and I just threw some cheese on top and was
given it back when it was cooked. This time I am doing everything but gathering
the ingredients for the base myself (with the help of this handy kit of
course!).
I love Sweetpea Pantry’s
look, over the website, packaging and even the lovely delivery box which had a
cute address label covered in clouds and birds. When I found their website I was
immediately taken by Sweetpea, their website is simple, not covered in bells
and whistles but it gets its lovely message across. All of their products are “100%
natural, 100% honest, 100% fun” as the front page says and their Great Taste
Award backs up their claims. It doesn’t stop there though, Sweetpea Pantry have
won many awards including Most Loved Kids Food from Foodpreneur and they were
also World Food Innovation Awards finalists. So plenty of other people love
their kits but will we?
The design of the box
is lovely, everything is covered is sweet (pea?) drawings of birds and though
the back of the box has a lot of information on it, it is laid out in a way
that is easy to read and pick out the important things such as the fact that
this particular kit is vegetarian, non GM, contains wholegrains and is “made
with love in the UK”. I love the fact that the healthy ingredients are pasted
on the front of the box like film stars: “Starring CHIA & FLAX”.
All you need for the
dough is water and oil and then whatever topping you want, we went for nice and
simple cheese and tomato but you could add ham, pineapple, peppers, meatballs,
whatever you want!
Part 1) Pre-Heat the
oven, mix the oil and water then add the pizza dough mix: Mixing water and oil?
As hard as it sounds but when it bubbles together, that’s fine. Pop in the dry
mix and get stuck in! The instructions say “using hands if needed”, its needed!
Get your hands in and make sure it is properly combined!
Part 2) Turn onto a
floured surface and knead for five minutes then pop into an oiled bowl, cover
and put in a warm place for an hour: Make sure there is plenty of flour on your
surface so the pizza doesn’t stick to it and put a good (but light) covering of oil all over the inside of your bowl. I put
my bowl in the airing cupboard covered with clingfilm for its hour but any warm
place and complete covering is prefect.
Part 3) Punch the
dough and break into three pieces. Flatten and roll it into pizza base shapes. Top
and bake!: Tip the dough onto a floured surface and flatten with a rolling pin,
I had to use my hands for most of it and then the rolling pin to finish as the
dough is quite stiff. Then top with delicious toppings and pop it in the oven! The
baking time on the box was just fine to make our pizzas nice and crisp and melted
the cheese perfectly.
The final instruction
on the box is “Devour!” and we did, they were delicious!
These pizzas were so
great, I’m not a fan of wholemeal bread so when this kit came and I realized it
was a wholegrain base, I wasn’t sure what it would be like but I really needn’t
have worried, it was great, both my brother and I loved our pizzas AND there is
enough dough left over for one more! I recommend this kit for kids parties, I would
break the dough into even smaller pieces and have all the kids make mini pizzas
for their lunch, they could use the toppings to make faces or pictures!
