Tasty bites to brighten someone's day

    

Good morning, dear readers! I hope you are having an amazing Monday, and welcome to this new blog entry about... MINIPIZZAS! I personally think they are a great recipe to carry for a picnic, as they are small and easy to make a pile of and, of course, to make. It is also quite cheap! In order to cook some delicious minipizzas, all you need is some patience and the following ingredients: 

MINIPIZZAS FOR 4-5 PEOPLE

For the dough: 

-250 ml of warm water (it helps activate the yeast, along with the sugar)

-A spoon of Active Dry Yeast

-5g of sugar

-1+1/2 spoon of olive oil

 -500 g of flour 

-5g of salt

For building up the minipizzas: 

-Grated cheese (you can buy a bag at the supermarket, or just take any cheese and grate it by yourself with the aid of a hand grater). 

-Tomato sauce

-Any toppings you like (pepperoni, salami, bacon, tuna, mushrooms, some chopped olives...). 

-A bit of oregano (it gives a really nice touch)

You can make the dough by hand, but instead I used a bread machine to do it. The steps are the following ones: 

1. Pour the warm water inside the bowl. Then, add the yeast and the sugar (it activates the yeast). Mix everything a bit with the help of a spoon or just by moving the bowl with your hands (be careful!)

2. Add the olive oil to the mixture and let it rest for a minute or two.

3. Now it's time to add the flour. 

4. Place the salt on top of the flour and put the bowl inside the bread machine. Leave it there for1 hour and 20 minutes. 

5. After that time, the dough will be ready. Divide it in two pieces and give them a second knead, then save each of them in individual dishes. It's important to cover them with a damp cloth, so that they don't get dry.

6. Leave the dough in the fridge for 1/2 hours maximum, and then it will be time to shape them into minipizzas!
