  • 3 1/4 tsp 10 g yeast
  • 1 1/4 tsp 7 g salt
  • 2 tbsp 30 g olive oil
  • 1 cup + 1 tbsp 250 ml warm water
Toppings
  • 1/2 cup 120 g pizza sauce
  • 1 1/3 cups 150 g shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 1 yellow bell pepper
  • 4 oz 120 g pepperoni
  • 1/2 cup 60 g black olive slices
  • 1 tbsp oregano

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Rolling Pin
  • Round cutter (3–4 inch)
  • Fork

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, milk powder, yeast, and salt. Add olive oil and warm water, then mix until a dough forms.
  2. Knead until the dough pulls together and looks smoother.
  3. Cover and let rise until doubled in size.
  4. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly until smooth. Roll out evenly.
  5. Cut dough into mini rounds with a cutter. Re-roll scraps and cut more.
  6. Place rounds on a parchment-lined baking sheet and dock centers with a fork.
  7. Top each round with pizza sauce, onion, bell pepper, pepperoni, olives, and mozzarella. Sprinkle oregano on top.
  8. Bake at 400°F (205°C) until cheese melts and edges are golden. Cool 3–5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Don’t overload sauce or toppings—mini pizzas bake best with a thin layer.
  • If you don’t have milk powder, you can skip it; the dough will still bake up soft.
  • Reheat for best texture in a toaster oven or oven at 350°F (177°C).
