Easy Freezer Friendly Mini Pizzas

These mini pizzas are a bite sized version of pizza that makes for a fun and unique starter/snack.

You can make the dough yourself like I do or use ready made pizza dough. I really love Northern Dough Company, which is available in most supermarkets in the UK. I have used it many times and my kids often make pizzas using it too. 

I have been making these mini pizzas for years. I first made them with a friend many years ago and loves that I could freeze a huge batch to make as and when needed.

You can also use alternatives to pizza dough.I have mentioned some alternatives below.  

Why I love them 

This recipe is ideal for freezing so I suggest making a big batch. 

They make a great afternoon/after school snack.

They are quick to reheat and come in handy when unexpected visitors show up.

They also make for a super quick and easy dinner and are popular with kids and adults alike.

They are also easily customisable and the topping is pretty much up to you!

HOW to MAKE MINI PIZZAS

Make the Dough

Note - Detailed instructions are at the bottom of the page:

Skip this step if you are using ready made dough which will come with instructions on the back of the pack.

To make your own Pizza Base Dough:

Place Flour and Salt in a bowl.

If using Active Dy Yeast, mix the yeast, sugar and oil into the lukewarm water and milk leave for a few minutes. It will begin to foam. Add to the Plain Flour.

If using Instant Yeast, add to the Flour and Salt Bowl along with Oil, Sugar, Water and Milk. Just make sure the Salt and Yeast are on opposite ends. 

Stir with a wooden spoon and then knead or mix in a stand mixer with a dough hook until it forms a dough.

Continue to knead till springy.

Place the ball of dough in a lightly greased bowl. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and place in a warm area for an hour until the dough has doubled in size.

Tip the dough out onto a surface dusted with flour. Knock back to push the air out. 

Top Tip - You can either use it immediately, or wrap it in clingfilm and keep it in the fridge or freezer until you want to use it. 

Line oven trays with baking  paper.

If using immediately, divide the dough up into small balls and roll out to 3 inches across.

Preheat the oven.

Top the base with sauce, toppings and cheese and bake till cheese has melted and bases are crisp at the edges.

Tips for perfect mini pizzas 

• Use a biscuit/cookie cutter or the bottom of a glass to cut the pizza base circles out of the dough.
• Lightly dust the surface before cutting out the bases to prevent them sticking.
• Grate your own cheese. This is because ready grated cheese come with a coating which prevents it from sticking together and affects how it melts. 
• You can pre bake the Pizza Dough. To do this, poke all over with holes and bake at 180 c/Gas Mark 4 for 5 minutes. Then add the toppings and bake again for 5 - 7 minutes.
• You can either use the dough immediately, or wrap it in clingfilm and keep it in the fridge or freezer until you want to use it.
• If using Active Dy Yeast, mix the yeast, sugar and oil into the lukewarm water and milk leave for a few minutes. It will begin to foam. Add to a bowl with the Plain Flour and Salt.
• If using Instant Yeast, add to the Flour and Salt in a bowl Bowl. Just make sure the Salt and Yeast are on opposite ends.
• When adding the Water and Milk, do so slowly. You may not need all of it.
• You can use all Water or all Milk if you prefer.

FAQs

How long do they take to cook?

Cook at 200 C/GM 6 for 8 - 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the crust is crispy at the edges.

Can I make them bigger/smaller?

Yes you absolutely can. You will need to adjust cooking times accordingly. Larger pizzas with a thicker base will need a few minutes longer and smaller pizzas with a thin base won't take as long to cook.
