These small pizza are a common snack for children or a must-have in any birthday parties with finger food. making it is easy, ai wouldn't say fast, due to the leavening time, but it is not difficult and complicated. The result can satisfy anyone, from elders to children. 😎

Nguyên liệu

500 grams of flour
200 grams of fresh milk
100-130 grams of filtered water (do not replace water with 100% milk, as it will make the dough sticky and less delicious)
A pinch of salt
A little cooking oil
7 grams of dry yeast or 12-15 grams of fresh yeast
Tomato sauce (passata di pomodoro), not ketchup!
Pizza mozzarella, not regular mozzarella (the one with liquid in the package). Pizza mozzarella doesn't contain liquid inside, and it's specifically made for pizza. If you can't find it, you can use other types of soft cheese.

Cách làm

Mix flour, fresh milk, salt, cooking oil, and yeast together. Then gradually add water.
Knead until the dough comes together and no longer sticks to the bowl. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour. If it's too dry, add more water.
Cover the dough and let it rest for about 2 hours or until it doubles in size (about 2.5 - 3 times the original size).
Prepare the tomato sauce: mix tomato sauce, salt, cooking oil, oregano, and a little sugar if desired (as tomato sauce tends to be slightly acidic).
Flatten the dough.
Shape the dough into small round balls about the size of your palm. Press gently to slightly flatten them and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Let the dough rest for 30 minutes.

Add the toppings. Since I made this pizza for my vegetarian daughter, I only used olive oil or sautéed mushrooms as toppings. Others can add sausage or other toppings if desired.
I don't add mozzarella cheese to the pizza right away because my oven doesn't heat evenly. If I put mozzarella on top like they do in pizzerias, it would dry out or burn on the edges by the time the pizza is fully cooked. Mozzarella for pizza should be soft and melty. So, I only add the mozzarella after the pizza is almost fully cooked.
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Place the pizza in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes. Then, place slices of mozzarella on top of the pizza. When the bottom of the pizza turns slightly golden and the mozzarella has just melted, turn off the heat. Let it cool slightly and serve. This pizza can be enjoyed hot or at room temperature. In Italy, it is typically eaten at room temperature because they make it in the morning and sell it until noon or in the afternoon.

You can cover the pizza with a cloth to prevent it from drying out.
If I bake the pizza at 2 PM and the party is at 5 PM, I cover the pizza again and remove the cover when it's time to serve at the party.
If you have leftover pizza, you can store it overnight and reheat it in the oven the next day. It will still taste delicious! :)
I wish you all success in making the pizza. :D
