Focaccia

Focaccia is soooo fun to make esp with kids. I love getting my kids involved in cooking. The younger you get them cooking, the more love they have for it and want to do it. I started my son off at 4 years old.. today he LOVES to cook. I did not do the same with my daughter and she is really not into cooking. So, I decided any children we have going forward, their little butts will be cooking. Anytime my nieces or nephews are over, we cook together (bread, pizza, biscuits, whatever).  You Will Need: 4 Cups Bread Flour (King Arthur) 2 tsp Salt 1 tsp Sugar (honey or agava)  1.5 tsp Yeast 1 tbsp Oil (olive or avocado) 1 3/4 Cups Warm Water  Bake at 445 degrees 10-12 minutes

Fun Shaped Biscuits

You Will Need:
4 Cups All-Purpose Flour 
1 Cup Butter, room temp
2 tbsp Baking Powder (Bob's Red Mill)
1 1/2 Cup Whole Milk
1/2 tsp Salt
Directions
1. In your stand mixer, add butter and mix until better is fluffy. Add flour, baking powder, and salt; blend until coarse crumbs (looks like cornmeal almost)
2. Drizzle in the milk, and mix until combined. Turn onto a floured surface and knead a couple times. (Cut dough in half, makes it work easier)
3. Roll dough out to about 1/2 thick (I like mine a bit thick because when they cook they will rise a bit bigger yum!)
4. Cut with any cookie cutter shape (cookie cutters). I normally let my children pick the shapes it makes it easier for them to eat the biscuits.
5. Line a baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper, preheat oven to 425 degrees.
6. This step has two options:
a. Bake for 8-10 minutes or
b. Place in the freezer and freeze completely (1 to 2 hours). When ready to eat, take out let them thaw completely and bake according to (A).
