Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Dough

In a mixing bowl, combine the *warm milk*, *salt*, *sugar*, and *dry yeast*. Allow this mixture to sit for about *10 minutes* until *bubbles form*, indicating that the yeast is active.

Next, add one *egg* to the milk mixture and stir well. Gradually add the *sifted flour* in parts, mixing continuously until it forms a dough.

Slowly incorporate *vegetable oil* into the dough and knead vigorously for about *5 minutes* until it is smooth and elastic. Cover the bowl and place it in a warm area to let the dough rise for *1.5 hours*. You can speed up this process by placing it in an oven at a low temperature.

Step 2

Assemble the Mini Pizzas

Once the dough has risen, divide it into equal portions. Take each portion and gently press down in the center to flatten it.

Spread your choice of *sauce* on top, followed by your desired *toppings* such as smoked turkey, cheeses, pickled cucumbers, or bell pepper.

Preheat your oven to *180 degrees Celsius (approximately 350 degrees Fahrenheit)* and bake the mini pizzas for about *15 minutes*, or until they are golden brown and deliciously fragrant.

Step 3

Serve and Enjoy

Once your mini pizzas are ready, take them out of the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these delightful snacks with friends or family!

Faq

  • How do I know if my dough has risen enough?

    After 1.5 hours, it should have doubled in size. You can poke your finger in it; if the indentation stays, it's ready!

  • Can I freeze the dough for later use?

    Absolutely! You can freeze the dough before it rises. Wrap it tightly and use it within a month. Just let it thaw and rise before shaping.

  • Why did my pizza crust turn out too thick?

    This can happen if too much flour is added during mixing. Aim for a soft, slightly sticky dough for the best results.

  • How do I achieve a crispy crust?

    Ensure your oven is fully preheated and consider using a pizza stone. Baking them on a lower rack also helps create a nice crisp!

  • What toppings can I add for more flavor?

    Feel free to experiment with different cheeses, meats, and fresh herbs! Pesto, olives, or even a drizzle of balsamic glaze can elevate your pizzas.

  • Can I make a mini pizza on the grill?

    Yes! Preheat the grill, and cook your mini pizzas on indirect heat for a smoky flavor. Just be careful with the direct flame!
