Who wants pizza?

The school is having another family night and, since last time you and your classmates complained about the cafeteria food, you have been put in charge of the food. After much consideration, you have decided to make homemade pizza. You decide to ask your Mom for help, and she says that, aside from doing the shopping, you are on your own. She does, however, let you know that there will be 60 people at family night, and each of them will need 1/2 of a pizza. She also said that, in order to have a diverse menu, that you should make 3 different types of pizza.

Task Your first hurdle is that you have never made homemade pizza before, and, there are no recipe books in the house. Luckily, a friend is giving you several great online recipe sites, and he has promised you that you will be able to find recipes for the dough, for the sauce, and for making pizzas there. Your second hurdle is that your Mom needs to know how much of each ingredient to buy. On a separate piece of paper you will need to figure how much of each ingredient you will need to buy.

Process 1.You will go online and choose and print a recipe for pizza dough, and a recipe for pizza sauce. 2.Once you have your recipes, it is time to figure out how much of each ingredient you will need. Don’t forget to include the ingredients you will need for the toppings. 3.Calculations a.The first set should be to figure out how many pizzas are needed of each kind. b.The second set should be to figure out how much of each ingredient is needed for the pizza dough recipe that you are using. (Be sure and note how many pizzas your dough recipe is for.) c.Your third set of calculations should be to figure out how much of each ingredient is needed for the pizza sauce recipe that you are using. (Again, be sure to note how many pizzas your sauce recipe is for.) d.The fourth set of calculations should be to figure out how much of each ingredient is needed to put your pizzas together.

Process Continued 4.After your calculations are finished, you can check your calculations by preparing a spreadsheet. 5.Combine all of your lists of the ingredients to prepare a shopping list that you can give mom.
