Ingredients: (to make 24 mini pizza bites)

Dough:
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- ½ cup very warm water (approximately 35 C or 100 F)
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 2.5 – 3 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- ½ cup plain yogurt

Pizza Sauce:
- 2 cups tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed chili pepper (optional)

Topping:
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 24 olive halves
- 24 thin mushroom slices
- Any other topping you like (green pepper, thin hot-dog slices….)















Directions:

Dough
- To activate the yeast: in a medium bowl, add the yeast, the sugar, and the warm water. Stir it and set it aside. After about 5 -10 minutes, the yeast will foam up and double in size.
- If using a stand mixer: Transfer the yeast mixture into the bowl of the stand mixer, and add to it all the other ingredients. Using the dough hook attachment, mix on low for 5 minutes until the dough become into a smooth ball. Add flour if the dough is too sticky.
OR
- If using hands: Transfer the yeast mixture into a large bowl. Add all the other ingredients, and mix with a wooden spoon until the mixture becomes dry.
- Transfer the dough onto a floured flat surface. Using your clean hands, knead the dough for 5-10 minutes, adding flour if necessary, until dough become a smooth ball, and doesn’t stick to your fingers or the surface.
- Cut the dough into two equal sections and form each dough into a ball.
- Place each dough in a greased bowl, and cover with plastic wrap.
- Place the bowls in a warm place, away from air as much as possible, and let it rest until it doubles in size.

Mini pizzas
- Pre-heat oven to 200 C or 400 F.
- When dough is ready, transfer it onto a floured surface.
- Knead with your hands a few times to get the air out, then cut in 24 equal pieces.
- Using a rolling pin, flatten the dough ball into a 3-inch diameter circle
- Place the dough circles on a greased baking sheet
- Spread each dough circle with 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce
- Top with 1 tablespoon with shredded mozzarella, mushroom, and olive.
- Bake for approximately 15 minutes or until the edges are golden
- And enjoy!

Pizza sauce
- In a medium sauce pan, heat the olive oil
- Then add all the ingredients, and cook until it come to a boil
