Re: [CnD] making mini-pizzas
Oh, okay! I do this, too, but slightly different. the original recipe, years ago, on the bag said to lay one downon the sheet, butter it, put another on it, and then build it, and not let sauce go all the way to the edge; leave about a one inch border, then build it, and bake at 350 degrees F. for 10 minutes. delicious.

I also make English muffin pizzas. I put them in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes, at 350, and they turn out crispy. Yum!

Re: [CnD] making mini-pizzas
tortillas work well. also, you can use English muffins or French bread cut to desired lengths. If you make your own dough or use a packaged dough mix (walmart has a good one surprisingly; not sure of the name, but it comes in a package and not a box.) muffin pans will help shape the dough. Pizza dough is pretty easy to make. The time takes in the rising fazes, but you can start it and go do something else while it rises. Pizza Dough Ingredients . 1 cup warm (110 degrees F) water . 1 (1/4-ounce) envelope active dry yeast . 1 teaspoon sugar . 1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil . 3 cups bleached all-purpose flour . 1 teaspoon salt Directions In a large bowl, combine the water, yeast, sugar, and 1 tablespoon oil and stir to combine. Let sit until the mixture is foamy, about 5 minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups of the flour and the salt, mixing by hand until it is all incorporated and the mixture is smooth. Continue adding the flour, 1/4 cup at a time, working the dough after each addition, until all the flour is incorporated but the dough is still slightly sticky. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth but still slightly tacky, 3 to 5 minutes. Oil a large mixing bowl with the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil. Place the dough in the bowl and turn to oil all sides. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set in a warm, draft-free place until nearly doubled in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Top with favorite toppings, cheese and sauce. Bake at 400 DGS F 20-25 minutes till crust is golden brown.

Re: [CnD] making mini-pizzas
As I posted before, making homemade pizzas with homemade dough is not really that hard. The dough is pretty easy and doesn't take a lot of kneading. You can do it by hand or use a dough hook, wich cuts the time spent kneading to about a minute. Pizza stones work great or just a pizza pan. You can roll out the crust and then use them to shape the final product. For mini pizzas, I roll out the dough to the desired thickness (about a half inch thick for thin crust, thicker for thick crust) then use a large round cookie cutter to cut out circles and place on baking stone or cookie sheet spaced about an inch apart so they are not touching. Of course, as I said, you could use a muffin pan and cut the dough to fit each slot if you like. I would probably find a cookie cutter that size or use the bottom of a glass to cut around with a sharp knife. You could also press into pan so it doesn't cover the whole pan or baking stone and then cut into squares for rectangular cookie sheet or triangles for round pans. Pull apart so they do not touch and place toppings on them. Remember to always bake toppings on top of crust because pre-baking crust ruins it. *smile* Regina Marie Phone: 916-877-4320 Email: reginamariemu...@gmail.com Follow me: http://www.twitter.com/mamaraquel Find Me: http://www.facebook.com/reginamarie Listen Live: http://www.jandjfm.com -Original Message- From: Cookinginthedark [mailto:cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org] On Behalf Of Charles Rivard via Cookinginthedark Sent: Wednesday, February 04, 2015 10:25 AM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org; Nancy Martin Subject: Re: [CnD] making mini-pizzas I like a thin crust pizza, so I use a flour tortilla to build onto.
