MINI PIZZAS RECIPE

Steps:

• Place the warm water in a large mixing bowl. Stir in the sugar and sprinkle the yeast over the top. Allow this to set for five minutes. The mixture will start to foam and bubble.
• Add the oil, flour, salt, and herbs. Stir with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
• Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about five minutes until a smooth dough ball is formed.
• Transfer the dough ball to a greased bowl, cover, and allow to rise until doubled in bulk, about an hour.
• Combine the dough ingredients in the bread machine pan, according to the order recommended by the manufacturer.
• Set on dough and start the machine, checking after ten minutes to make sure all the ingredients have been incorporated and not stuck to the side of the pan. Scrape down any stray ingredients to insure they are mixed in.
• Place the warm water in the mixing bowl. Stir in the sugar and sprinkle the yeast over the top. Allow this to set for five minutes. The mixture will start to foam and bubble.
• Add the oil, flour, salt, and herbs. Attach the dough hook and run the machine until all the ingredients are incorporated, stopping the machine to scrape the sides as necessary. Knead with the dough hook until a smooth dough ball is formed.
• Transfer the dough ball to a greased bowl, cover, and allow to rise until doubled in bulk, about an hour.
• Preheat the oven to 500 °. Spray baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray and sprinkle with corn meal to prevent sticking or line the pans with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
• Divide the dough into 16 portions. Flatten each portion into a thin round and place on the cooking sheet.
• Spread sauce and sprinkle toppings as desired.
• Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until the crust is crisp and the cheese melted and lightly browned.
• Wrap cooled pizzas in foil or plastic wrap and stash in a larger ziptop freezer bag. Thaw and reheat in a 350 oven for about 5 minutes.
• Assemble the pizzas as directed, but instead of baking, place the trays in the freezer. Once the pizzas are frozen solid (this will take several hours), stack them between layers of patty papers or waxed paper and store in a freezer bag or box in the freezer. To serve: bake from frozen at 450 degrees, for 10 to 12 minutes.

MINI PIZZA WRAPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Spray a pizza stone, cast iron skillet, or other low-profile, oven-proof dish lightly with cooking spray.
• Arrange rows of wrappers in a single layer on the oven-proof dish.
• Put 1 T of pizza sauce on the center of each wrapper, and spread around, leaving about 1/4 inch of"crust" showing.
• Place about 1 tsp of cheese on top of the sauce, followed by 1 tsp of whatever topping (s) you've selected; to keep it low fat, we used part-skim mozzarella, and turkey pepperoni with great results.
• Bake in preheated oven for about 6-7 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and lightly browned, and the"crust" is golden.

MINI PIZZA APPETIZER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450° degrees F.
• Place crust on large pizza pan or baking sheet. Spread olive oil evenly over pizza crust, add the grated Fontina cheese. Arrange leeks or onions atop the cheese. Add the chopped tomatoes and thyme. Season with salt to taste and add the pepper.
• Bake pizza until crust is golden and cheese melts, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool in pan for 5 minutes. Cut into triangles or squares or diamonds or wedges and serve.
