Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)
- vegan pizza sauce or pasta sauce (or whatever kind of sauce you like on your pizza)
- mozzarella style cheese substitute
- desired toppings, finely chopped or grated
- oregano
- olive oil (to grease pan, if necessary)
Directions:
I especially like to make this recipe using a muffin pan.
However, you can use a cookie pan or pizza pan instead. If
you use a muffin pan, these pizzas are like mini deep-dish
pizzas...mmm!
If your pan isn't non-stick, oil it lightly with olive oil.
Preheat oven to 400F degrees.
Roll out the pizza dough to about 1/4" thickness. If you are
using a muffin pan, find a biscuit cutter, cup, shot glass,
etc. that is slightly larger in diameter than the muffin
openings, and use it to cut the dough into circles. Pat each
dough circle into a section of the muffin pan so that some of
the dough begins to creep up the side of the muffin opening.
If you are not using a muffin pan, then use a biscuit cutter
(or whatever kind of make-shift cutter you have on hand) to
cut the dough, and place the dough circles on your pan,
remembering to leave a little space between them because they
increase in volume slightly during cooking.
Next, cover each mini pizza with sauce, whatever toppings you
like, and cheese substitute. Then sprinkle a little oregano
on top.
Put mini pizzas into the oven, and cook until cheese is
melted and beginning to brown. Remove from oven, and slip
pizzas out of cooking pan and onto a plate or serving tray.
Enjoy! My children love to eat these pizzas during jogger
stroller walks, and they (the pizzas, not the children) make
great hors d'oevres, too!
