Bite-Sized Neapolitan Pizzas

 

Ingredients

 

Serve 6-8

• 1 quantity Pizza dough (refer recipe)

• 1 cup/250 ml olive oil, for frying

• 2 tbsp finely chopped basil

• 1 tsp dried oregano

Method:

1. Prepare the pizza dough and set aside to rise. When the rising time has elapsed, knead the dough again until smooth and elastic.

2. Divide into 12 pieces and shape into balls. Cover with a cloth and let rise for 15 minutes.

3. Roll the dough balls out on a lightly floured surface into 1/4inch (5-mm) thick rounds. The edges should be slightly higher than the center.

4. Heat the oil in a large frying pan to very hot. Fry the pizzas in small batches until golden, spooning the oil over them. This will help them swell up. Drain well on paper towels.

5. Cut a slice into the sides of the pizzas and spoon in the tomato sauce. Sprinkle with the Parmesan, basil, and oregano and serve hot.
