Prepare the Dough:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the yeast becomes frothy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add the oil to the yeast mixture and stir to combine.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In a separate bowl, mix the flour, powdered milk, baking powder, and salt.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing well after each addition until a dough forms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Make the Pizza Sauce:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan over medium heat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and saut\u00e9 until softened and translucent.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add the diced tomatoes, salt, black pepper, and thyme. Cook for about 10 minutes until the tomatoes break down and the sauce thickens.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stir in the ketchup and cook for another 2 minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remove from heat and set aside.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Assemble the Mini Pizzas:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Preheat the oven to 220\u00b0C (430\u00b0F).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Punch down the risen dough and divide it into small portions to form mini pizzas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Roll each portion into a small, round shape about 1\/4 inch thick.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Place the dough rounds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spread a spoonful of pizza sauce over each dough round.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add your desired toppings: olives, bell peppers, sausage, and shredded mozzarella cheese.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. Bake the Mini Pizzas:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bake the mini pizzas in the preheated oven at 220\u00b0C (430\u00b0F) for about 12 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Freezing Instructions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. Prepare the Dough for Freezing:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Follow the instructions to prepare the dough and roll it into mini pizza rounds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Instead of adding sauce and toppings, bake the plain dough rounds in a preheated oven at 220\u00b0C (430\u00b0F) for 3 minutes. This par-baking step helps set the dough.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Freeze the Dough:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Allow the par-baked dough rounds to cool completely.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Place the cooled dough rounds on a baking sheet in a single layer and freeze until firm (about 1 hour).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once frozen, transfer the dough rounds to a freezer-safe bag or container. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. To Use the Frozen Dough:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Remove the desired number of mini pizza dough rounds from the freezer and let them thaw at room temperature.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Preheat the oven to 200\u00b0C (392\u00b0F).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add the sauce, toppings, and cheese to the thawed dough rounds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cooking Tips<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cheese:<\/strong>\u00a0Feel free to use a blend of mozzarella and other cheeses for extra flavor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Toppings:<\/strong>\u00a0Customize with your favorite toppings like mushrooms, spinach, or pepperoni.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dough:<\/strong>\u00a0Ensure the dough is kneaded well for a soft and fluffy texture.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These homemade mini pizzas offer a wonderful combination of a crispy crust, savory sauce, and delightful toppings.
