Stuffed Picnic Breads

Stuffed Picnic Breads

Here is an easy, kid-friendly lunch idea from our friends at Young Chefs Academy that is great at home or on-the-go. Get the kids involved and let them gather the below items and help measure out the ingredients. They can also roll out the bread dough and sprinkle ingredients on top for a fun, hands-on cooking experience.

 

Read It, Place It, Create It!

Remind kids (and yourself) to read the instructions all the way through before getting started. Then get everything out and prepared – now you’re ready to cook!
