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 the oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking tray to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the mini pizza bites.
- Prepare Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface until it is about ¼-inch thick, then use a cookie cutter to cut the dough into small rounds for bite-sized portions.
- Assemble Bites: Arrange each dough round on the prepared baking tray. Add a dollop of pizza sauce on top, then sprinkle generously with shredded mozzarella cheese and finish by adding your choice of assorted toppings like pepperoni, bell peppers, and olives.
- Bake: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the dough are golden brown and the cheese has melted and is bubbly.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let the mini pizza bites cool slightly to avoid burning your mouth, then serve warm as a delicious snack or appetizer.
Notes
- Use fresh pizza dough for best texture, or store-bought dough for convenience.
- Customize toppings to suit dietary preferences or what you have on hand.
- Ensure the dough is rolled out evenly for consistent baking.
- These mini bites can be served with extra pizza sauce or a dipping sauce of your choice.
