Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 2 teaspoons Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Pepperoni slices
• 0.5 cup Chopped bell peppers
• 0.25 cup Chopped black olives
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard 8-count muffin tin or mini loaf pan lightly with olive oil or non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well using a whisk or fork.

Step 3

Add warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough begins to form, then knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a small oval or round shape, approximately the size of each muffin tin or mini loaf pan compartment.

Step 5

Press each dough portion into the greased compartments, ensuring it reaches the edges and forms a base for the toppings.

Step 6

Spread a tablespoon of pizza sauce over each dough base, leaving a small border around the edges for a crust.

Step 7

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce, followed by your choice of toppings: pepperoni slices, bell peppers, and black olives. Feel free to customize with other toppings as desired.

Step 8

Sprinkle dried oregano and basil over the toppings, followed by a light sprinkling of grated Parmesan cheese for added flavor.

Step 9

Bake the mini pizza loaves in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.

Step 10

Remove the mini pizza loaves from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes in the pan before carefully transferring them to a wire rack or serving plate.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy! These mini pizza loaves are best fresh but can also be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
