Mini Pizzas

I made these mini pizzas for my goodbye party and they went down like a treat :) Alternatively, just roll the dough out larger and you will get a perfect base for a normal size pizza :) As always, the filling is very variable. The recipe for the base was from here. They were gone so quickly I couldn't even take a picture, I'm very sorry for this and will upload one as soon as I make them again!

Ingredients

2 cups of flour
1 cup of warm water
1 tablespoon of dried yeast
1 heaped teaspoon of honey
2 tablespoons of olive oil
salt

crème fraîche
green pesto
red pesto
tomato sauce
vegetables (sweetcorn, courgette etc.)
cheese (mozzarella, cheddar)
ham

Place the yeast in a small bowl with 5 tablespoons of the warm water and the honey and set aside for 10 minutes. Place the flour, the rest of the water and the olive oil and salt in a big bowl and mix them together. Add in the yeast mixture and mix in well. It may be quite sticky at that point, but don't worry too much, simply continue kneading for about 10 minutes. Then leave it to prove for at least an hour or until it doubles in size. Then take small parts of the dough and roll them out on a floured surface using a rolling pin. I would recommend you roll the dough out quite thinly. Leave to rest for 30 minutes before you put anything on top. Once you have put the other ingredients on top, bake in a preheated oven at 180° C for 15 minutes.

I made crème fraîche pizzas with ham and cheese, and then a veggie option with sweetcorn and courgette. Another option is to spread pesto onto the base thinly and add mozzarella and vegetables or ham. Or use the classic tomato sauce as a basis and then whack anything you like on top :D Enjoy :)
