HOW TO MAKE THE PERFECT PIZZA

Step 1:

First, you get a nice, round bit of pizza dough and put it on a pizza stone. Get yourself some tomato sauce and spread it all over your pizza dough, adding generous amounts and being sure to cover every square inch of the dough.  Try especially hard not to spread it all over the table, yourself, or anyone else standing nearby trying to be helpful.

Step 2:

Next, say "cheese."  Tell Mommy to preheat the oven for 450 degrees and be a very good listener when she tells you to stay away from the oven.  While she's doing that, add a whole lot of cheese to your pizza.  At first, try to make a mountain of cheese - and see how high you can make it until Daddy tells you to spread it out some more.  Don't eat any of the cheese yet - make sure you save it for the pizza!

Step 3:

It's time to add the toppings.  Get a bowl of chopped-up chicken from Mommy and be sure to spread it all over the top of the pizza surface.  Don't forget to keep your hands out of your mouth!  Mommy and Daddy will make you wash your hands again if you start licking your fingers.  So cut it out and I mean it!  Once you've added all the chicken, look at Mommy and Daddy and say "more please!"  They'll know what to do next, which is add more toppings (During steps 1-3, Mommy has been cooking mushrooms and onions for toppings, and is about to put them on as well...yummy!).

Step 4:

Cook for eight to ten minutes and watch as Mommy brings to the table a delicious dinner!  

Bon apetit!
