Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Base
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count)
- Flour for dusting
- Olive oil spray or brushing (optional)
Toppings
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup mini pepperoni slices or chopped pepperoni
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Biscuit Dough: Lightly flour your work surface and flatten each biscuit dough round into a 3–4 inch circle using your hands or a rolling pin. Arrange the dough circles evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Add Sauce and Toppings: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce onto the center of each biscuit dough circle. Spread the sauce lightly, leaving a small border around the edges to create a crust. Next, sprinkle each pizza with shredded mozzarella cheese and top with mini pepperoni pieces. Finish by sprinkling dried oregano evenly over each pizza.
- Bake: Bake the mini pizzas in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the pizzas from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. These mini pizzas can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature and are perfect for lunchboxes or snacks.
