Pizza is always a crowd pleaser, but making your own can be a bit of a headache. This bite-sized alternative is easy to make and healthy (just 150 calories each!) and as much fun to make as they are to eat.

For Pizza Dough

  • 2-1/2 cups plain or all purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoon oil
  • 1-1/2 teaspoon instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon castor sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 pinches of baking powder

For Mini Pizza Cups

  • 5-6 black Olives (thinly sliced)
  • 1 cup mozzarella Cheese (grated)
  • Italian herb Seasoning (for topping)

To Make Dough

  1. Mix all the dry ingredients and the oil in a bowl or food processor, then gradually add the warm milk a little at a time.
  2. Knead it into a soft dough.
  3. Dab a touch of oil all over the dough, then cover it and place it somewhere warm.
  4. Leave it to rise to double its size, takes about 30 minutes to an hour depending on the weather.
  5. Once ready, punch down the dough and then divide it into 18 equal balls.
  6. Grease 24 cups muffin pan with oil or butter and set aside.
  7. Roll each dough ball out into a circle of about quarter inch thickness, then gently place it in the cup hole of the pan, patting it gently to fit the shape.
  8. Repeat this method with the rest of the balls.
  9. Next, spread a light layer of pizza sauce in each cup. Then add the chicken, capsicum and onions.
  10. Sprinkle some cheese over the filling and drizzle some ketchup over the top of each cup.
  11. Top with olives and herb seasoning.
  12. Allow the pizza cups to rest and rise for 20 minutes, then preheat the oven at 180 degree C.
