Today, we’re putting a fun twist on the classic pizza by making bite-size versions that are perfect for sharing or enjoying as a snack. These mini pizzas are not only adorable but also incredibly customizable, so everyone can create their own perfect bite. Let’s get started on making these delicious bite-size pizzas!
Ingredients:
– 1 package of refrigerated pizza dough
– 1/2 cup pizza sauce
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– Toppings of your choice (pepperoni, bell peppers, onions, olives, mushrooms, etc.)
– Olive oil, for brushing
– Dried oregano and red pepper flakes, for sprinkling
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface. Using a round cookie cutter or the mouth of a glass, cut out small circles from the dough. These will be the bases for your mini pizzas.
3. Place the dough circles on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one. Brush the tops with a light layer of olive oil.
4. Spoon a small amount of pizza sauce onto each dough circle, spreading it out evenly with the back of a spoon.
5. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. This will act as the glue for your toppings.
6. Now comes the fun part – adding your favorite toppings! Get creative and mix and match different ingredients to create a variety of flavors.
7. Once you’ve topped your mini pizzas to your heart’s content, sprinkle a pinch of dried oregano and red pepper flakes over the top for an extra pop of flavor.
8. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the dough are golden brown.
9. Remove the mini pizzas from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. These bite-size pizzas are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven while the cheese is still gooey and the toppings are hot.
