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

Pie Crust

This recipe makes exactly two 9" pie crust, or enough for one pot pie or one fruit pie that you need a top for. A lot of people are so afraid to make pie crust because they fear they might make it wrong, or are just scared to give it a go. Making pie crust does not need to be feared; it is simple, easy, and you do not even need a machine to do it (just use a good old fork and your hands).
You Will Need: 
3 Cups Flour
2 1/2 Sticks Butter, unsalted & cold, cubed
1 tsp Salt
4-8 tbsp Water, ice cold
Dice your cold butter, and place in freeze until you need it
Mix salt and flour
Add in your butter
Work the dough until it is fine crumbs, I just used a fork and my hands, but you can just use your food processor or pastry folder 
Now add in 1 tbsp water at a time, I only use 7 tbsp
Here is the dough, yay! super easy right? Exactly! 
Wrap in plastic wrap until you need it, you can freeze this dough like this, or roll it out and freeze it into the pie pan, once frozen remove and bag.
