Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Cornmeal
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cups Warm water (110°F/45°C)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.25 cups Additional cornmeal (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, and salt.

Step 3

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.

Step 4

Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix the ingredients until a rough dough forms.

Step 5

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Form the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a baking stone or sheet inside to heat up.

Step 8

Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently and divide it into 8 equal portions.

Step 9

Roll each portion into a small round shape, about 4-5 inches in diameter, and place them on a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.

Step 10

Lightly dust the surfaces of the dough rounds with additional cornmeal for added texture.

Step 11

Add your favorite pizza toppings, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.

Step 12

Carefully transfer the mini pizzas, along with the parchment paper, onto the preheated baking stone or sheet.

Step 13

Bake the mini pizzas for 8-10 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 14

Remove from the oven and let the pizzas cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
