Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 1/4 cups (780 ml) all-purpose flour
- 200 milliliters (6.8 fluid ounces) warm milk
- 120 milliliters (4 fluid ounces) warm water
- 100 milliliters (3.4 fluid ounces) oil
Dough Enhancers:
- 10 grams instant yeast
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
Toppings and Sauce:
- Sausages, sliced
- Pepperoni
- 2 long green peppers, sliced
- Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- Olives, sliced
- Tomato sauce
- Thyme
Instructions
- Activate the yeast mixture by combining warm milk, water, oil, sugar, and instant yeast in a spacious mixing bowl. Blend thoroughly until the ingredients are fully integrated.
- Incorporate approximately half of the flour and salt into the liquid base. Knead the mixture until a preliminary dough structure emerges, gradually introducing the remaining flour for a smooth, elastic consistency.
- Allow the dough to develop and rise in a cozy environment, covered with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel. The resting period should last around 30 minutes, during which the volume will noticeably increase.
- After rising, gently deflate the dough by pressing down. Transfer to a clean work surface and briefly knead to redistribute the yeast’s activity.
- Stretch and roll the dough into a uniform circular shape, maintaining a moderate thickness. Use a round cutter or glass to create individual circular bases, positioning them carefully on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Distribute tomato sauce evenly across each dough circle, creating a consistent base layer. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese generously, then strategically arrange sausages, pepperoni, green peppers, and olives.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F). Position the prepared pizza bites in the heated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the edges turn golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and allow a brief cooling period. Serve immediately to enjoy the optimal temperature and texture of these delectable mini pizzas.
Notes
- Customize toppings easily by using your favorite ingredients like ham, mushrooms, or vegetarian alternatives for diverse dietary preferences.
- Handle dough gently to maintain its softness and prevent tough texture, ensuring light and fluffy pizza bites.
- Experiment with different cheese combinations like cheddar or parmesan to enhance flavor profiles and create unique taste experiences.
- Prevent soggy bottoms by preheating baking sheet and using parchment paper, which helps achieve crispy golden crusts every time.
