Recipe:

• 1 sheet of focaccia dough (Click for my simple recipe, any will work though.)

• 1 can sliced pickled beets

• 1 yellow bell pepper

• 1 red bell pepper

• 1 orange bell pepper

• 1 green bell pepper OR zuchinni slices/ jalepeno as I had.

• sliced olives

• 12 slices provolone

• 4 whole green onions

• Optional: Colored powdered cheese such as grated parmesean or Cotija colored blue. I used this for my blue shark and bubbles, however I suppose sliced jicama dyed blue would work too for a uniuform shark look.

• Optional: Basil (as I used) or other leafy greens for "seaweed" 

​

Prepare focaccia dough as directed to fit a large cookie sheet. Use a picture for reference and slice bell peppers into "shark" shapes, bodies, heads, tails, and fins. Slice beets into shark pieces and coral shapes for scenery. I also used cookie cutters and mini cutters to get little star shapes. Slice red bell pepper for mouths, and slice cheese for faces/ bodies.

​

I used a frosting tip to cut mini cheese circles for eyes to place the olives on. I then did the same for my bubbles and coated the small circles in the blue colored cheese powder for blue. I baked my shark cookie cutter directly into the bread to retain the shark shape, and removed it whole to give my toddler to play with and eat.

​

Arrange and gently press shapes down into dough. Bake as directed, cool, and serve.
