MINI PARTY PIZZAS
yield: MAKES 2 1/2 TO 3 DOZEN
prep time: 20 MINUTES
cook time: 15 MINUTES
total time: 35 MINUTES
INGREDIENTS
1/2 Recipe Potato Focaccia Dough (below)
1/4 Cup Olive Oil
1 1/2 Cups 5 Minute Tomato Sauce
1 1/2 Cups Grated Good Quality Mozzarella Cheese (Not Fresh Which Is Too Watery)
6 Large Fresh Basil Leaves
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 425 degree F. and lightly dust two baking sheets with cornmeal.
Divide the dough into two parts, and on a lightly floured surface, roll the dough to a thickness of about 1/2 of an inch thick.
Use a circular cup or cookie cutter about 3 to 4 inches in diameter, and cut as many circles of dough that you can.
As you cut the dough circles they will shrink a little, so slightly stretch them out with your fingers and then place the circles on the prepared baking sheets.
Brush the top of each pizza with a little olive oil, then spoon a little of the tomato sauce on top, spreading it with a spoon almost to the edge.
Chop the fresh basil, adding a little to each pizza, and finally, top with the grated mozzarella.
Place the pizzas in the oven and bake until golden brown and bubbly, about 15 minutes.
