Mini Pizzas
Ingredients
- For the Pizza Base:
- 1 package of refrigerated pizza dough (or use pre-made mini pizza crusts)
- Flour (for dusting)
- For the Toppings:
- 1 cup pizza sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup pepperoni slices (or any toppings you prefer, such as vegetables, cooked sausage, or olives)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Olive oil (for brushing, optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat as well.
2. Prepare the Pizza Dough:
- If using refrigerated pizza dough, roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Cut the dough into small circles using a biscuit cutter or a glass (about 3-4 inches in diameter) to form the mini pizza bases.
3. Assemble the Mini Pizzas:
- Place the mini pizza bases on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or directly onto the preheated pizza stone.
- Spread about 1-2 tablespoons of pizza sauce on each mini pizza base, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce.
- Add your desired toppings, such as pepperoni, vegetables, or cooked sausage.
- Sprinkle dried oregano or Italian seasoning over the top and season with salt and pepper.
4. Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown. If you want a crispier crust, you can brush the edges with a little olive oil before baking.
5. Serve:
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious mini pizzas!
