Ingredients

  • 500 g spelt flour type 1050
  • 1 cube fresh yeast
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • olive oil
  • 150 g mozzarella (diced)
  • 150 g chunky canned tomatoes
  • Salt
  • Pepper (freshly ground)
  • basil (or oregano, fresh)

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Mix the flour with the salt and form a mound. Break in the yeast and sprinkle with sugar. Add about 80 ml lukewarm water to fill the hole and let stand for 20 minutes. Then knead with 2 tbsp oil and about 100 ml lukewarm water into a smooth dough; add more warm water if needed. Cover the dough and leave it to rise in a warm, draft‑free spot for 1 hour.

  2. 2.

    Preheat the oven to 250 °C fan. Knead the dough well, divide it in half, and on a floured surface roll each part into two long rolls. Cut the rolls into pieces about 2–3 cm thick and shape them into small round flatbreads.

  3. 3.

    Top each flatbread with about 2 tsp tomato sauce and mozzarella. Drizzle a few drops of olive oil over each, then season heavily with salt and pepper. Place the mini pizzas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10–12 minutes. Sprinkle with basil or fresh oregano leaves and serve immediately. Optionally, insert small skewers into each mini pizza.
