How to make Pudsey pizzas

🚨 Make sure a grown-up helps you as hot equipment is involved! 🚨

Prep time: five minutes | Cook time: 6–8 minutes | Makes: One Pudsey pizza per two bread slices

  1. First, make sure to wash your hands before you begin.

  2. Get two slices of bread per pizza, and cut them out using your bear cookie cutters.

  3. Once your bread is cut out, spread tomato paste over one side, leaving a small gap around the edge.

  4. Then add some cheese into the centre of the tomato paste.

  5. Add the second piece of bread on top and, with a fork, crimp the edges of the bread together to seal it. 

  6. Create an egg wash with one egg and a bit of milk, and whisk together.

  7. Brush the egg wash across the top of your pizza.

  8. Add toppings of your choice to make up Pudsey's face.

  9. With the help of a grown-up, pop on a tray and into the oven for 6 - 8 minutes at 180°C.

  10. Leave to cool slightly and dig in!

Top tip: Get creative with Pudsey's iconic look! You can use a slice of pepperoni, ham or peppers for his spotty bandana, and black olives or mushrooms for his eyes and nose.
