Ingredients
Pizza Crust
- 1 box of Simple Mills Pizza Crust Mix
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 6 tablespoons water
Toppings
- 2 ounces pepperoni (mini or diced larger ones)
- 4-6 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 small jar of pizza sauce
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the mini pizza crusts.
- Prepare Dough: Mix the pizza crust dough according to the directions on the Simple Mills box, combining the mix with apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and water as specified.
- Form Mini Crusts: Divide the dough into 6 to 7 balls. Press each ball into a roughly 4-inch diameter circular crust to create individual mini pizzas.
- Bake Crusts: Place each crust on a lightly greased baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes until cooked but not browned heavily.
- Cool Crusts: Remove the crusts from the oven and allow them to cool completely if you plan to pack them for lunch to prevent sogginess.
- Store and Pack: For storing, place the cooled crusts in an airtight container and refrigerate. When packing multiple crusts, separate them with squares of parchment paper to avoid sticking.
- Assemble Before Eating: Just before eating, spread tomato sauce on the crust first, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese and top with pepperoni slices.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately after assembling for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- For best results, allow crusts to cool completely before storing or packing to maintain texture.
- If packing multiple mini pizzas, separate them with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Toppings should be packed separately to keep crusts from becoming soggy.
- You can customize toppings as desired—swap pepperoni for veggies or other favorite pizza toppings.
- This recipe yields 6 servings, making it perfect for a family lunch or meal prep.
