Homemade Mini Pizzas
Tasty pizza with homemade dough and homemade pizza sauce. You can make them any size you want!
Ingredients
Pizza Sauce:
- 1 8 oz can tomato sauce
- ¼ tsp dry oregano
- ½ tsp dried basil
- ⅛ tsp onion powder
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 1 clove garlic minced
Pizza Crust:
- 2 ¼ tsp SAF instant yeast
- ½ tsp sugar
- 1 ½ cups warm water
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 3 ½ cups flour approximately
Toppings
- 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- Optional: pepperoni sausage, canadian bacon, peppers, olives, mushrooms, pineapple, bacon, etc.
Instructions
Sauce
- 1. Heat all ingredients in a saucepan or in the microwave. (Or you can make it an hour ahead of time and let it sit to achieve similar results.)
Crust
- 1. Mix yeast, sugar, and water in a large bowl and let sit 10 minutes.
- 2. Add salt, olive oil, and enough flour to make a soft dough. Knead a few times just till smooth.
To Bake
- 1. Preheat oven to 475 °. Divide dough into 12 pieces. Roll or press each piece of dough into pans that have been greased. I like to sprinkle the pans with cornmeal, but this is totally optional.
- 2. Poke holes in crust with a fork. Bake for about 5 minutes.
- 3. Remove pizza crusts from oven. Spread with sauce and toppings and bake at 475° for about 10 more minutes or until crust is golden and cheese is melted.
Notes
- Serving size is 2 mini pizzas.
- You can make 2 large pizzas instead of 12 mini pizzas. Prebake crust for 7 minutes, then bake an additional 15-20 minutes.
