Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 package pre-made pizza dough (or homemade if preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for brushing)

For the Sauce:

  • 1 cup pizza sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)

For the Toppings:

  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup sliced bell peppers (red, green, or yellow)
  • ½ cup sliced mushrooms
  • ½ cup black olives, sliced
  • ½ cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup spinach leaves (optional)
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup grilled chicken, pepperoni, or other preferred protein (optional)

For Garnish (Optional):

  • Fresh basil leaves
  • Crushed red pepper flakes
  • Grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Prepare the Dough:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
  2. Roll Out the Dough: If using store-bought dough, roll it out on a floured surface into a thin sheet. Use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut out small circles (about 4-5 inches in diameter) for your mini pizzas.
  3. Brush with Olive Oil (Optional): If desired, brush each mini pizza dough circle lightly with olive oil to help the crust turn golden and crispy.

Assemble the Pizzas:

  1. Add Sauce: Spread a tablespoon of pizza sauce onto each mini pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
  2. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, covering each mini pizza evenly.
  3. Add Toppings: Add your choice of vegetables, protein, and any additional toppings on top of the cheese.

Bake the Mini Pizzas:

  1. Bake the Pizzas: Place the mini pizzas on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  2. Check for Crispness: If you prefer a crispier crust, bake for an additional 2-3 minutes, keeping an eye on them to prevent burning.

Serve and Garnish:

  1. Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the mini pizzas from the oven. Optionally, top with fresh basil leaves, grated Parmesan cheese, and crushed red pepper flakes for added flavor.
  2. Serve Immediately: Serve the mini pizzas warm, and enjoy!
