Minecraft Creeper Pizza Biscuits
Do you hear those familiar sounds? *crunch* *crunch* *door close* Does your child talk about servers all day? Then you my friend, have a child that’s addicted to Minecraft. As I had written about on Geek Mom, Minecraft is sweeping the nation – well, at least the boys of 4th grade. So I thought it would be fun to add a little pizza Creeper to the kid’s lunches.
Lots of pizza flavor without the mess, these are ideal for a packed lunch on the go…or to eat while you’re playing Minecraft.
ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
freshly ground pepper
3/4 cups (1-1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, diced
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 Tablespoons pizza sauce
1 egg
pepperoni for the face
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and prep two sheet pans with silpats.
In a bowl whisk together the flour, shredded mozzarella, baking powder, oregano, salt and pepper. Set aside.
In the bowl of an electric mixer beat the butter while slowly adding the dry ingredients. alternate with the buttermilk, pizza sauce and the egg until just incorporated.
The dough will be sticky, so pour it out onto a floured surface. Roll or pat into 3/8″ thick. Using a knife, cut squares approx. 3″ x 3″. You should get about 12-14 squares.
Place the squares on the lined baking sheets.
For the Creeper’s eyes, use kitchen shears to cut out squares and rectangles for the other shapes of his face. Place them very close together as the dough will expand in the oven.
Bake for 15-17 minutes depending on your oven. Let cool on a wire rack.
The pepperoni may move during baking, so you might have to pick them up and move them around as they are cooling to make sure the Creeper face is just right.
The perfect snack to eat while gaming. I can hear the *crunch* *crunch* now…
