Tasty and quick to make, the whole wheat skillet mini pizzas are perfect for appetizers or served at a buffet.

Preparing them is really easy, and as always, they can be topped as you like.

Sometimes I even have them for dinner instead of bread; because lunch is usually rushed and we don’t even see the bread! In the evening, when we are finally relaxed, we allow ourselves a slice of bread each, as prescribed by the doctor… strictly whole wheat! And since on average one of these mini pizzas weighs about 1.5 oz, with 2 mini pizzas per person, we’re good in terms of carbohydrates.

They can also be made with all-purpose flour, but everyone knows by now that trying to introduce less refined foods into our diet is a good and right thing to do.

As you will see, no mixer or rolling pin is needed; you break off pieces of dough, form balls, flatten them and cook them in a skillet. Then if you top them with mozzarella and want a crust, just put them under the grill for a moment… and onto the table!

I topped them with asparagus that’s in season right now (and I had already boiled them to dress the orecchiette), cherry tomatoes, and mozzarella, so I put them under the grill as mentioned.

What do you think, would you like to try these whole wheat skillet mini pizzas? They are really tasty, simple to make, and economical.

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
6 tbsp water
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Half pack instant yeast for savory preparations
salt (a pinch)
1 tbsp chopped parsley
1.75 oz asparagus (already boiled)
1.75 oz cherry tomatoes
6 cherry mozzarella balls
salt

Steps

– In a bowl, place the sifted flour and yeast, then add the chopped parsley and salt; mix.
– Pour the water, oil, and knead directly in the bowl until you get a compact dough.
– Break off pieces of dough and form balls, then form discs by gently pressing with your fingertips.
– Cook in a hot skillet without greasing; cover and after about 3 minutes flip the mini pizzas and finish cooking for another 2 minutes or so.
– Top as desired with mozzarella balls cut into pieces, boiled asparagus tips, cherry tomatoes cut in half, and a pinch of salt. You can choose to eat them like this, or put them under the oven grill just until the mozzarella gets crispy.
