Zoe's Easy, Rustic Mini Pizzas

I created these delicious mini pizzas. They are more like a pizza bun. The dough is fluffy and tender, the sauce is fresh, and the cheese crisp and a little gooey. Very easy appetizer and absolutely delicious. A great appetizer, snack, or light supper!

Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon white sugar
• 2 cups warm water
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 clove garlic, diced
• 2 tablespoons instant yeast
• 1 ½ cups prepared tomato sauce
• 2 tablespoons fresh oregano, diced
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil, diced
• 1 cup chopped fresh spinach, or to taste (Optional)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Mix flour, water, olive oil, yeast, salt, and sugar together in a large bowl. Use an ice cream scoop to place 12 balls of dough onto the prepared pan, patting down slightly; dough will be very sticky. Let sit until risen, about 30 minutes, without kneading or punching down.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a baking pan. Toss an ice cube into the bottom of the oven to add some humidity.

Step 3

Combine tomato sauce, garlic, oregano, and basil in a bowl. Add olive oil, vinegar, and sugar; stir very well.

Step 4

Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons tomato sauce on each dough ball. Sprinkle 1 to 4 tablespoons mozzarella cheese on top and add spinach.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.
