Make Pizza without Yeast with DIY Star SyePush

What can we use instead of the cardboard star or wooden spoon if we don't have them?

Use a sturdy plastic lid or thick cereal-box cardboard for the star and tape it securely to a rolling pin or clean spatula handle in place of the wooden spoon as described in the taping step.

My dough turned out too sticky or too dry—how can I fix it?

If the dough from the step combining 2 cups flour, baking powder, salt, oil, and warm water is too sticky, knead in additional tablespoons of flour until smooth, and if too dry add warm water a teaspoon at a time until you form a soft dough.

How can I adapt this activity for younger children or make it more challenging for older kids?

For younger kids have an adult draw and cut the cardboard star, tape it to the spoon, and guide the kneading and oven steps, while older kids can measure the ingredients themselves, design their own Star SyePush, and test different baking times and toppings.

How can we personalize or extend the pizza and Star SyePush project?

Decorate the cardboard star with washable paint or stickers before taping, press fun patterns into the flattened 1/4-inch dough, add herbs or garlic powder to the dough mix for extra flavor, and then photograph your finished pizza and Star SyePush to share on DIY.org.
