Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Oven and Tray

Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F) or 180°C (350°F) fan-forced. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 2: Make the Dough

In a large bowl, combine self-raising flour and Greek yogurt. Mix with a spoon until large flakes form, then knead for 1–2 minutes until a soft dough forms.

Step 3: Shape the Mini Pizzas

Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1 cm (½ inch) thickness. Use a mug or cookie cutter to cut rounds.

Step 4: Add Toppings

Place dough rounds on the prepared tray. Spread a little tomato paste over each round, then top with mozzarella and pepperoni.

Step 5: Bake

Bake for 12–14 minutes until golden and cheese has melted.

Step 6: Serve

Let cool slightly before serving.

Tips & Variations

• Swap pepperoni for ham, cooked sausage, or vegetables.

• Sprinkle with dried oregano or basil for extra flavor.

• For crispier mini pizzas, bake an extra 1–2 minutes.

• These can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for 2–3 days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use regular flour instead of self-raising?

Yes, but add 1 ½ tsp baking powder to the flour to help the dough rise.

Can I freeze these mini pizzas?

Yes! Freeze uncooked rounds on a tray, then transfer to a bag. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes.

Can I make them dairy-free?

Use a dairy-free yogurt and cheese substitute for a vegan-friendly option.
