Let’s get cooking!
In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, and olive oil. Gradually add water and knead the dough until smooth and elastic.
Add more water as needed to achieve the right consistency. Let the dough rest for about 10 minutes.
While the dough is resting, grease the wells of your baking tray with olive oil. This helps the mini pizza puffs bake evenly and ensures they don’t stick to the tray.
After resting, lightly flour your surface and roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thick.
Use a cookie cutter or a glass to cut small, round shapes from the dough. You should get around 12-15 mini rounds, depending on the size.
Gently place each round of dough into the greased wells of your tray. This helps them cook evenly and crisp up nicely.
Spoon 1-2 tsp of tinned chopped tomatoes onto each dough round.
Add your toppings, such as green peppers, onion and cheese (about 1 tsp per bite).
Sprinkle fresh oregano over the top for that classic pizza flavor.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the mini pizza puffs for about 10 minutes.
If using cheese, they may take 12-15 minutes to melt and get golden brown.
Once golden and crispy, remove the tray from the oven, let the puffs cool for a few minutes, and enjoy!
