Katrina Bain says “How amazing is the 2 ingredients pizza dough!

We have my daughter’s daycare Christmas party tonight and have to take a plate.

I made a batch of the dough (used white flour as I had some to get rid of) and then used Christmas tree cookie cutter to make them.

I pre-baked the dough for a few minutes and then added toppings. Was really easy to do and I’m sure the kids at the party (and the parents) will love them!”.
