320kcal
Ingredients

- Shredded mozzarella cheese
- Toppings: Choose from pepperoni mushrooms, olives, bell peppers, onions, fresh basil, or your favorite ingredients.
- Olive oil for drizzling
- Fresh basil optional, for garnish

Equipment
- Rolling Pin
- Round cutter or glass (for shaping the dough)
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
Method
- Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F).
- Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick.
- Use a round cutter or glass to cut the dough into small circles, about 4-6 inches in diameter.
- Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce onto each mini pizza base, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
- Add your desired toppings. Be creative and choose from a variety of vegetables, meats, or cheeses.
- Place the pizzettas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden and crispy.
- Remove from the oven, drizzle with olive oil, and garnish with fresh basil (optional).
- Let the pizzettas cool for a minute before serving. Enjoy!
For best results, let the oven fully preheat for at least 10–15 minutes so the pizzettas start baking immediately and develop a golden, crispy base.
Notes
- Use a pizza stone for extra crispy crusts.
- Fresh mozzarella creates a softer, creamier texture.
- Do not overload with toppings to keep the crust crisp.
- Brush crust edges with olive oil for better color and flavor.
- Mini pizzettas are great for kids and parties.
Tips for Best Results
- Allow the dough to rest before rolling for easier shaping.
