Ingredients
- 3 cups flour
- 1 tablespoon yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ½ tablespoon salt or to taste
- 2 tablespoons yogurt
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- ¾ cup warm water
For topping
- 6 tbsp Pizza sauce
- 100 g mozzarella cheese
- black olive sliced
Instructions
- In a mesuring cup, combine 1 tablespoon of yeast, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and ¾ cup of warm water. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of flour and ½ tablespoon of salt. Add 2 tablespoons of yogurt, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, and the activated yeast mixture.
- Mix all ingredients until they form a soft dough. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rest in a warm place for 60–90 minutes, or until it doubles in size.
- Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) while the dough is proofing.
- Gently punch down the dough to release any excess air. Divide it in half, then roll out one portion on a lightly floured surface to about ¼ inch (6 mm) thickness. Using a round cutter, cut out mini pizza bases. Carefully transfer the circles onto a parchment-lined baking tray, spacing them slightly apart.
- Add your favorite pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings to each mini pizza. Keep toppings light to ensure even baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cheese melts.
- Let the mini pizzas cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm as a snack or party treat.
