This kitty pizza is a cat-lovers dream! Shaped like a cute cat, this pizza is easy to make and tastes amazing. Perfect for a kitten themed party.

Kitty pizza with breadstick whiskers - a fun, easy to make lunch, dinner or party snack idea!

It doesn't matter if you're a kid or an adult, pizza is always a party or celebration favourite - it's perfect for sharing and goes well with tons of other food.

It's hard to top the classic combination of a tomato base and mozzarella, but in when it comes to toppings, there's really no limit to what you can create. We opted for our family's favourite: veggies!

The whiskers taste great on their own, but anything that allows JD access to more tomato dipping sauce is always going to be a winner.

Here's how to make one kitty pizza.

Ingredients

For the base

300 g (10.58 oz) strong white bread flour
1 tsp fast-action dried yeast
1 tsp salt
200 ml (6.76 floz) lukewarm water

For the sauce

1 jar (1 ) pizza sauce or tomato purée - For topping
150 g (5.29 oz) grated/shredded mozzarella vegetarian is required
black olives
green and orange peppers

Equipment

Instructions

Add the flour, yeast and salt into bowl and mix together.

Preparing the pizza dough for these adorable kitty pizzas

Add 200ml of lukewarm water and bring together in the bowl with a wooden spoon or by hand.

Turn the dough out on to a floured work surface and knead for a few minutes until smooth and return to the bowl.

Cover with a wet tea towel or cling film for an hour.

Preheat the oven to 200C/400F (180C/360F fan), turn the dough out and divide into two equal parts.

The pizza dough is separated into two balls

On floured work surface roll the dough out until just larger than the kitty template (which can be downloaded cut out as pdf or image).

Cut around the template with a sharp knife to form the head.

Creating the kitty shaped pizza from fresh dough

With the leftover dough roll out six breadsticks around 4 inches long for the whiskers.

The remaining dough is used to create breadstick whiskers

Cut the green peppers into two circles (I used a very tiny biscuit cutter), and add a slither of olive for the pupils. Make the nose and mouth out of the orange pepper.

Create the kitty face using your selection of toppings - here we've used vegetables

Add the pizza sauce, mozzarella and vegetables to make a face. Lay the breadsticks on top of the pizza for whiskers.
