How to Make Pan-fried Mini Pizzas
In a large bowl, mix the flour with the instant yeast for savory preparations.
Create a well in the center and pour in a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil and the water gradually, mixing with a fork until the powders have absorbed all the liquids.Add half a teaspoon of salt and knead by hand until you have a smooth, homogeneous, and non-sticky dough (if needed, you can add a bit more flour).
Blend the peeled tomatoes in a blender with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
Roll out the prepared dough on a work surface with the help of a rolling pin to a thickness of about 3/8 inch and with a pastry cutter or a 2-inch cookie cutter, cut out your mini pizzas, re-kneading and cutting the remaining pieces until the dough is used up.Place the mini pizzas in a pan, top them with a teaspoon of sauce, and some torn basil.
Place the pan on the stove, cover it with a lid, and let cook for five minutes over low heat.
Remove the lid, top the mini pizzas with the shredded mozzarella, cover again, and let cook over low heat for a couple of minutes until the mozzarella is melted.
Turn off the heat and serve your mini pizzas immediately.
