MINI PIZZAS

Mini Pizzas are a fun, easy-to-make snack or meal that’s perfect for kids and adults alike. These personal-sized pizzas are customizable with your favorite toppings, making them a great choice for quick dinners, parties, or appetizers. You can use store-bought pizza dough, English muffins, pita bread, or even bagels as the base!

Ingredients:

  • 1 batch pizza dough (store-bought or homemade) or 4-6 English muffins, pita bread, or bagels
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce (or marinara sauce)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Toppings of your choice (pepperoni, mushrooms, bell peppers, olives, onions, etc.)
  • Olive oil, for brushing
  • Fresh basil or parsley (optional, for garnish)
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Prepare the pizza base:
    • If using pizza dough, roll it out on a floured surface and cut it into 4-6 small circles (about 4-5 inches in diameter). If using English muffins, pita bread, or bagels, simply split them in half to form your mini pizza bases.
  3. Assemble the mini pizzas:
    • Place the mini pizza bases on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush each base with olive oil.
    • Spread a tablespoon of pizza sauce over each base, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce.
  4. Add your toppings:
    • Add your favorite pizza toppings, such as pepperoni, mushrooms, bell peppers, olives, or onions. Be creative and mix and match toppings based on your preference!
  5. Bake the mini pizzas:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden and crisp.
  6. Garnish and serve:
    • Remove the mini pizzas from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired, and sprinkle with red pepper flakes for a little heat.

These Mini Pizzas are perfect for a quick meal or a fun, customizable party snack that everyone will love!
