*Not included in your bag
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375F.
In a large ziplock bag add 1/2 cup flour, sugar, yeast and warm water.
Seal the bag and squish the mixture together with your hands to mix. Let it rest 10 minutes at room temperature.
Then add 1/2 cup flour, oil, and salt to the bag, then seal and squish together. Pour in the remaining 1/2cup of flour and mix until combined.
On a clean work surface sprinkle a layer of flour and dump out your dough from the bag. The final step is kneading the dough until it’s smooth. To knead the dough you use the heel of your hand to push the dough away from you, then lift the far end the dough and fold it backwards. Rotate the dough a quarter of a circle and repeat this process for 5 minutes. Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it rise 30 minutes.
Place the dough onto a greased baking tray and stretch it out until the entire tray is covered.
Cover dough with 2 tbsps of oil, salt, and any herbs that you enjoy. We love our bread topped with rosemary!
Cut and/or peel vegetables of your choosing to create a flatbread masterpiece with your veggies. We want to have fun with our food and make it as colourful as possible!
Bake flatbread for 15-20 minutes until the bottom of the bread is crisp and lightly browned.

Directions:
Prepare 1/2 batch of Pizza Pop Dough: (see below)
Preheat the oven to 375F.
In a large ziplock bag add 1/2 cup flour, sugar, yeast and warm water.
Seal the bag and squish the mixture together with your hands to mix. Let it rest 10 minutes at room temperature.
Then add 1/2 cup flour, oil, and salt to the bag, then seal and squish together. Pour in the remaining 1/2cup of flour and mix until combined.
On a clean work surface sprinkle a layer of flour and dump out your dough from the bag. The final step is kneading the dough until it’s smooth. To knead the dough you use the heel of your hand to push the dough away from you, then lift the far end the dough and fold it backwards. Rotate the dough a quarter of a circle and repeat this process for 5 minutes. Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it rise 30 minutes.
Divide your dough into 5 equal sized balls. Roll each dough portion into a long thin oval, shaped like the tail of a beaver.
Place beaver tails onto a parchment lined baking trail and brush or use your clean fingers to cover each side in a light coating of oil and vanilla (optional) on each side.
Place beaver tails in the oven to bake for about 7 minutes per side, or until lightly browned.
While the beaver tails cook mix together the sugar and cinnamon in a medium sized bowl and prepare any desired toppings.
When fresh from the oven carefully dip both sides of the beaver tails into the sugar mixture. Drizzle with lemon juice right before eating for a classic beavertail taste.
Try out different combinations of fruit, spreads, and candies to recreate this classic Canadian treat!
Fun Fact: Beaver tail pastries were invented in Ottawa and traditionally are eaten as a post-skating treat!
