Kitty pizza with breadstick whiskers

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.

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.

Instructions

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

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.

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).

Place the template over the dough.

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

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

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

Bake for 12 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.

Transfer to a plate or board and server with any dipping sauces of your choice for the breadsticks.
