- Spread half of the pizza crusts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and the second half on a second baking sheet.
- Spread each pizza crust with the tomato sauce and spread broccoli, tomatoes and onions on top. Alternatively, sprinkle them with vegan pizza cheese.
- Drizzle the mini pizzas with a little olive oil and bake the pizzas on the first baking sheet first, then on the second in a preheated oven at 250 °C top and bottom heat for about 10 minutes each.
Notes
- Instead of fresh yeast you can use dry yeast. You will then need 7 g of it for the recipe.
- The amount of flour given may vary. Therefore, add the flour in portions until the dough has the right consistency. It should be firm and somewhat sticky, not mushy and not dry.
- For the tomato sauce you can use any spices. You can also adjust the amount of garlic to taste.
- Instead of broccoli, tomatoes and onions, you can put any toppings on the pizza bites.
- Because of the high baking temperature, do not leave the mini pizza unattended for too long while baking so that it does not burn.
