Ingredients
Scale
Mini Pizza Bases
- 6 pita breads or 6 English muffins (split)
Toppings
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 24 pepperoni slices
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get it ready for baking the mini pizzas.
- Prepare Bases: Arrange the pita breads or split English muffins on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased to prevent sticking.
- Spread Sauce: Evenly spread pizza sauce over each pita or muffin base, leaving a small border around the edges for a crust effect.
- Add Cheese and Toppings: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce, then evenly distribute the pepperoni slices on top. Finish by sprinkling Italian seasoning over each pizza to enhance flavor.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese has melted thoroughly, becomes bubbly, and is golden brown in spots.
- Serve: Remove the mini pizzas from the oven, allow them to cool slightly to avoid burns, slice if desired, and serve immediately while warm and delicious.
Notes
- You can substitute pepperoni with other toppings like mushrooms, bell peppers, or olives for variety.
- Using pita bread gives a slightly thinner crust than English muffins, so choose according to your preference.
- If you prefer a crispier crust, you can lightly toast the bases before adding the toppings.
- Leftover mini pizzas can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in the oven or microwave.
- Adjust the amount of cheese and sauce to your taste for a richer or lighter pizza.
