Instructions
Making homemade mini pizzas is a fun and enjoyable process. Follow these simple steps to create your own delicious mini pizzas:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for a crispy crust.
2. Prepare the Dough: If using store-bought pizza dough, allow it to come to room temperature. If making your own, roll it out on a floured surface.
3. Divide the Dough: Cut the dough into small portions, approximately the size of a golf ball. Roll each piece into a small circle about 4-6 inches in diameter.
4. Add Olive Oil: Brush each mini pizza base lightly with olive oil to enhance flavor and crispiness.
5. Spread Pizza Sauce: Spoon a tablespoon of pizza sauce onto each mini pizza base, spreading it evenly.
6. Sprinkle Cheese: Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce on each mini pizza.
7. Add Toppings: Layer your chosen toppings on top of the cheese. Be creative and mix flavors!
8. Season: Sprinkle dried oregano and garlic powder over the mini pizzas for added flavor.
9. Bake: Place the mini pizzas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
10. Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the mini pizzas from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
These steps will guide you in creating mouthwatering mini pizzas that are sure to impress everyone at your table.
