Tiny Pizzas...Yum!

Yesterday we had spaghetti night at my sister´school...I was gonna go with her and my boyfriend, but we found out that they had cancelled at the last minute....but we decided to still eat something yummy....so we made tiny pizzas...with all kinds of filling. Since we were at home there was also my brother and my great-aunt...my parents were out, but we made some for them too. Each one of us made our own pizzas.....they turned out fantastic!

Ther we have: Ham, salame, corn, mediterranean sauce, bolognese sauce, mushrooms, cheese, caramelized onion, basil, scallion, green pepper, orange pepper, and for seasoning: oregano, merquen (smoked chile), salt, cayenne pepper, and dill.

Here´s how they look after they came out of the oven:

This is a ham, cheese, salame, mushroom and green pepper pizza.

Put all the dry ingredients and mix, and then add the rest of the ingredients, knead the dough until it is firm (about 1 minute) wrap it with plastic foil or put it in a ziploc bag (remember to remove the air) and let it rest in the fridge for half an hour. Meanwhile wash and cut all the ingredients you want for filling the dough, and butter and flour your molds.

Prepare your pizza and put it in the oven for 15 minutes....enjoy!
