Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 1 mug self-raising flour
- ¾ mug natural yogurt
Tomato Sauce
- 2 tbsp tomato puree
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 4 tbsp water
Toppings
- 200 g Buffalo Mozzarella
- 2 black olives
- Fresh basil leaves to serve
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) to ensure it reaches the proper temperature for baking the pizzas evenly.
- Make the dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour and natural yogurt. Stir together until the mixture forms a cohesive dough.
- Knead the dough: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and gently knead it to develop structure and elasticity.
- Divide and shape: Divide the dough into 8 equal parts. Use the palm of your hand to press each portion into a mini pizza shape. Place each dough base onto a lightly floured baking tray.
- Prepare tomato sauce: In a small bowl, mix together tomato puree, dried oregano, crushed garlic, and water until smooth and well combined.
- Apply tomato sauce: Spread the prepared tomato sauce evenly onto each mini pizza base.
- Create ghost shapes: Thinly slice the buffalo mozzarella and cut the slices into mini ghost shapes using a small knife or cookie cutter.
- Add olive details: Cut the black olives into tiny pieces to form eyes and mouths on the mozzarella ghosts, attaching them gently on top of each pizza.
- Bake the pizzas: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the mozzarella has melted and the dough is fully cooked and golden.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving warm for a spooky and delicious treat.
Notes
- You can substitute the buffalo mozzarella with regular mozzarella if preferred.
- For a spicier tomato sauce, add a pinch of chili flakes with the oregano.
- Use parchment paper on the baking tray to prevent sticking.
- These mini pizzas are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in the oven if needed.
- Make sure not to overload the pizzas with toppings to keep the mini size manageable.
