Yesterday as I was making up some lunch and planning for dinner I decided to make these Mini Pizzas with Homemade Pizza Dough I had made for lunch. I love to create and show people how to make 10 yummy pizza recipes step by step because my family loves them and I think yours will too!
Sometimes my kids really just need a small snack rather than a big ol pizza, especially if they are in a hurry to get out the door. So I figured these would be perfect because I could make them up and then pop them in the freezer for later.
Hey did you know that these mini pizzas also make a great breakfast!? Well for my kids anyway…they LOVE pizza for breakfast. If you love bread recipes I’ve created over 20 more you may just love!
So here you go…just a quick little tutorial.

Mini Pizzas with Homemade Pizza Dough
Ingredients:
Homemade Pizza Dough ~ This recipe makes 2 LARGE pizzas, so cut the recipe in half if you want a smaller batch.
- 2 Cups warm water
- 2 T brown sugar
- 2 T yeast
Whisk together and let the yeast proof..this means you let it sit and get foamy/bubbly (about 10 minutes)
Then add:
- 2 T olive oil
- 1 1/2 t salt
- 5 Cups flour ( you can use any kind of flour) If you use wheat..be sure and mix only 1/2 wheat with 1/2 white or it will be too dry.
- Then Knead for 5 min.
- Let rise for 1 hour
Rest of Recipe
- Any sauce you like…I used canned spaghetti sauce and ranch garlic sauce
- Mozzarella Cheese
- Garlic Salt (optional)
- Shredded Parmesan/Romano (optional)
Directions for Mini Pizza:
Roll out pizza dough and use a round cookie cutter or glass for little pizzas ~
Put onto a cookie sheet and add topping. If you have Cornmeal, this is great to sprinkle on first as this keeps the pizza from sticking to sheet.
Bake in the oven at 450 degrees for about 15 minutes.
Let cool completely before putting them into freezer bags and freezing.
That is it my friend! Your kids will love this super simple snack and you will know just what is in the recipe!
You can keep these for at least a month in the freezer too!
Blessings!

Yummy! I want some for me!
This looks like a perfect after school snack!
What a great idea! I have made mini “english muffin” pizzas for our kids many times, but didn’t even think about doing it with homemade pizza dough – what a fun idea and perfect for that quick snack too!
I love your idea for Mini Pizzas, Awesome! Hope you are having a great weekend and thanks so much for sharing this awesome post with Full Plate Thursday.
Come Back Soon!

What a clever and delicious idea! I make my own pizza dough, but never thought about creating mini pizzas 🙂 My son would love these!
Thank you for sharing at JES’s lovely linkup. Have a beautiful day.
Yummy! I’ve been wanting to make my own pizza dough for a while. I make all our own breads and cook as much as possible from scratch, but pizza is still one thing I haven’t tried. I’m too afraid I’m going to screw it up.
You always amaze me. I know FOR SURE my teens would love this!
These mini pizzas have my mouth watering! I love how they are mini, perfect for little fingers! I would love if you shared these pizzas at my new link party Making Memories Mondays going on now!

So glad that you shared these at MMM! 🙂

Oh my, these are SO cute! They remind me of a pizza boat but of course, they are the actual pizza. Great idea and thank you for sharing it on the Art of Home-Making Mondays! 🙂
These look fantastic…and easy! Right up my alley. 🙂 Thank you for sharing!
I like this so much better than the pre-packaged variety in the frozen food section! Thanks so much for sharing your recipe at This Is How We Roll Thursday.
Looks tasty and it’s great that you can freeze them!
This looks delicious! Thanks for sharing at the Thoughtful Spot Weekly Blog Hop! We hope you join us again next week!
Perfect for family pizza night! Thanks for linking up with What’s Cookin’ Wednesday!
What a fantastic idea! Is it sad that I just texted my husband and told him “bring home pizza dough, I saw something I need to try!”?
These look delicious! Mini-pizzas are one of our favorites, but I admit we mostly cheat – we use pita bread or bagels instead of homemade dough, lol!
No shame in “cheating” Emma! LOL Anything can get the job done for us busy Mamas, right!? 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
These look great! I am going to a party this weekend and I think i will bring these! Ranch Garlic sauce sounds awesome!
Pinned!
Found you on Tickle My Tastebuds blog hop!
Gotta love everything home-made! This is a great recipe to try. Those little balls also means that one may not be able to stop eating! Definitely one to keep!!! Visiting from How We Roll Thurs. 🙂
