Mini Spider Pizzas
Description
These Mini Spider Pizzas start with pizza dough rolled out and cut into 3-inch rounds. A tomato sauce made from tomato sauce, tomato paste, dried basil, oregano, parsley, garlic powder, optional red pepper flakes, and balsamic vinegar is whisked together to enhance flavor. Each dough round is spread with sauce, then topped with shredded mozzarella before baking at 450°F until the cheese bubbles and crust turns golden. After baking, large pitted black olives are arranged on top to look like spiders, adding a fun visual detail. These mini pizzas are convenient, individual portions suitable for snacks or casual meals.
