Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 6 pita breads or English muffins, split
Toppings
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 24 pepperoni slices
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the mini pizzas.
- Prepare Bases: Place the pita breads or split English muffins on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
- Apply Sauce: Spread pizza sauce evenly over each pita or muffin base, leaving a small edge around the perimeter to prevent overflow.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce, then arrange pepperoni slices on top. Finally, sprinkle Italian seasoning over each pizza to enhance flavor.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly, melted, and golden brown.
- Serve: Carefully remove the mini pizzas from the oven, let them cool slightly to avoid burns, slice if desired, and serve immediately for the best taste.
Notes
- Use pita bread for a thinner and crispier base or English muffins for a thicker, softer texture.
- Feel free to customize toppings with vegetables, different cheeses, or other meats.
- For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes before baking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven for best results.
