Who here likes PIZZA? !
Now that I think about it, I don’t think I’ve ever met someone who didn’t like pizza. This is great! Because it’s one of everyone’s favorite foods, our family eats it once a week. I wanted to try a new “pizza” recipe and this is what we came up with.
If you’ve had a margherita pizza before, you know how delicious a simple combination of ingredients can be!
These mini versions are especially fun for kids. They had a blast cutting round dough pieces with a round cookie cutter.
For an easy lunch or dinner idea (or even as an appetizer at a party), I think you’ll love these mini pizzas!
