Prepare The Dough

These mini pizzas are made in a cupcake / muffin pan. So you need to prepare the pan by spraying the muffin cups generously with nonstick spray.

The pizza dough for this recipe is refrigerated can biscuits. Then you will open your can of biscuits and flatten them out a bit before placing them inside the muffin tins.

Assemble

Now this part is a time to get the kids involved. You can lay out your toppings and let easy person make a few of these pizzas.

This recipes is super easy and you can modify to make as many as you need plus you can easily change up the toppings to create a variety of pizza bite options for your party goers.

Topping Ideas

pepperoni
parmesan cheese
canadian bacon
sausage
red and green bell peppers

Bake

When you’ve got all your pizza bites ready, it’s time for baking. It takes about 15 minutes, until the pizza crust is a golden brown.

I finished mine off with a sprinkle of basil. Another option would be some Italian seasoning or to brush the crust area with garlic butter would be delicious.
