Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 1 ¾ cups self-rising flour
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
Toppings
- ½ cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- Toppings of choice (e.g., pepperoni, vegetables, olives)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F (232 degrees C) to ensure it’s hot enough to bake the mini pizzas quickly and get a nicely browned crust.
- Mix Dough: In a large bowl, combine the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt. Stir them together until the mixture becomes crumbly in texture, indicating that the dry and wet ingredients are beginning to combine.
- Knead Dough: Use your hands to knead the crumbly mixture for a few minutes. Continue kneading until the dough starts to come together into a smooth ball. This step helps develop the dough’s texture for baking.
- Roll Out Dough: Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough evenly. Roll it thin if you prefer crispier mini pizzas, or adjust thickness to your preference.
- Cut Dough Circles: Using a cookie cutter or any circular object, cut out small rounds of dough. Arrange these circles evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Add Sauce: Spread a small amount of pizza sauce on top of each dough circle, ensuring an even layer but not too much to make the dough soggy.
- Add Cheese and Toppings: Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the sauce on each mini pizza, then add your chosen toppings to customize your pizzas.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the mini pizzas for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust turns lightly browned. The mini pizzas will puff up during baking and will deflate slightly once they cool.
Notes
- You can substitute self-rising flour with all-purpose flour plus baking powder (1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour + 2 teaspoons baking powder) if unavailable.
- Greek yogurt adds tanginess and moisture to the dough; full-fat Greek yogurt produces richer results.
- Feel free to experiment with different cheeses or topping combinations to suit your preferences.
- These mini pizzas are perfect for kids’ lunches, appetizers, or casual gatherings.
- Watch the baking time closely to avoid over-browning or burning the mini pizzas.
