Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Dough
- 1 cup pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
Toppings
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup pizza sauce
- ½ cup assorted toppings (pepperoni, bell peppers, olives, etc.)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking tray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface until it is about ¼-inch thick. Use a cookie cutter to cut the dough into small round shapes suitable for bite-sized portions.
- Add Toppings: Place each dough round on the prepared baking tray. Add a small dollop of pizza sauce onto each round, sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly, and top with your choice of assorted toppings like pepperoni, bell peppers, or olives.
- Bake: Bake the mini pizza bites in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the mini pizza bites to cool slightly on the tray before serving to prevent burns and to help the cheese set slightly.
Notes
- You can customize the toppings to your preference – vegetables, cooked sausage, or mushrooms all work well.
- Ensure the dough is rolled evenly to guarantee uniform baking.
- For extra crispiness, brush the edges with a little olive oil before baking.
- These bites can be made ahead and reheated in the oven for 5 minutes to refresh.
