Ingredients
For the Base:
4 small pizza bases (store-bought or homemade)
1/2 cup pizza sauce
For the Toppings:
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup sliced bell peppers (any color)
1/4 cup sliced onions
1/4 cup sliced olives
1/4 cup diced tomatoes
1/4 cup sliced pepperoni or cooked chicken (optional)
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
For Cooking:
1-2 teaspoons butter or oil
Instructions
1. Prepare the Pizzas:
Spread a generous layer of pizza sauce on each mini pizza base.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
Arrange your chosen toppings (bell peppers, onions, olives, etc.) on top of the cheese.
Add Italian seasoning and chili flakes for extra flavor.
2. Heat the Tawa:
Place a tawa (flat griddle) on medium-low heat. Add a little butter or oil and spread it evenly.
Once hot, place a mini pizza on the tawa. Cover it with a lid or a deep pan to trap the heat.
3. Cook the Pizza:
Cook for 6-8 minutes on low heat, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the base is crisp.
Check occasionally to ensure the base doesn’t burn.
4. Repeat:
Cook the remaining mini pizzas in the same way, adding butter or oil as needed.
5. Serve Hot:
Garnish with more chili flakes or Italian seasoning if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Pro Tips:
Use whole wheat pizza bases for a healthier option.
Pre-cook toppings like chicken or sausage to ensure they’re done.
If you have a thicker base, cook it for an additional 1-2 minutes to ensure even heating.
