Easy Mini Pizzas Recipes

ZOE'S EASY, RUSTIC MINI PIZZAS

Steps:

• Mix flour, water, olive oil, yeast, salt, and sugar together in a large bowl. Use an ice cream scoop to place 12 balls of dough onto the prepared pan, patting down slightly; dough will be very sticky. Let sit until risen, about 30 minutes, without kneading or punching down.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a baking pan. Toss an ice cube into the bottom of the oven to add some humidity.
• Combine tomato sauce, garlic, oregano, and basil in a bowl. Add olive oil, vinegar, and sugar; stir very well.
• Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons tomato sauce on each dough ball. Sprinkle 1 to 4 tablespoons mozzarella cheese on top and add spinach.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.

Steps:

• Flatten each biscuit into a 3 inch circle and press into a greased muffin cup.

• Bake at 425F for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm or chilled.

EASY MINI BAGEL PIZZAS

• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and pepperoni is lightly browned, about 6 minutes.

MINI TOP-YOUR-OWN PIZZAS

Steps:

• Put the flour in a large bowl. Add a little salt to one side of the bowl and the yeast to the other side. Sprinkle over the sugar, together with a spoon, and add the oil and 190ml warm water. Combine with a spoon until all the flour comes away from the sides of the bowl, then tip onto a floured surface. Knead for 5-10 mins or until smooth and elastic. Lightly oil a clean bowl, add the dough, cover with cling film and leave to rise for 1 hr.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce. Pour the passata into a saucepan, add the basil and mixed herbs, then season and bring to the boil over a low heat. Simmer gently for 5 mins, then set aside to cool. Chop the toppings.
• Once the dough has risen, tip it out, knock out the air and divide into 6 equal parts. Heat oven to 240C/220C fan/gas 9 and place 2 large baking sheets in the oven.
• Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a circle around 15cm in diameter. Pick up the circle of dough and toss about a metre up, spinning it in the air. Catch it on the back of your hand, so your fingers don't poke through the dough. Do this at least 3 times to achieve a thin central base and a thicker outside crust. Alternatively, you could carry on rolling, but it's not as much fun!
• Lay the bases onto baking parchment (2 bases on 1 piece of parchment) and carefully slide each pair inside a plastic bag 'tent' for 15 mins to prove again.
• After the second rise, spread the sauce over the bases and add the and mozzarella. Take the baking sheets out the oven and quickly slide the pizzas (still on their baking parchment) on top. You can cook 2-3 pizzas per tray. Return to the oven and bake for 12 mins. Take out, slice and eat.
