"Amma, look at this picture. Can I have this for a snack tomorrow?" - This is the kind of conversations I am having with my older one at bedtime. She looks into her instagram account and challenges me with these pictures. One way my creative juices get a huge boost and the result are these muffins.
I felt that cutting out the small circles and baking them in muffin cups is rather a tedious way of making it. I would rather bake the pizza on the whole flatbread and then slice it out for the kids (which I do many a time :) ).
The advantage of baking them into individual muffin sized pizzas is that there are more veggies per square inch :). The teeny weeny size appeals to the kids and helps in portion control for the adults !! You know I am talking about the pizza loving adult in my house, right?
So stay tuned for some interesting varieties of Pizzas as part of BM #35.
Ingredients -
Flatout Flat bread (Tortillas or Home made chapatis would also work) 2 nos
Pizza sauce 3-4 Tbsp
Onions, Tomatoes, Olives finely chopped 1/2 cup each
Cheese, shredded 1 cup (or less as preferred)
Chilli flakes for topping (if needed)
Method Of Preparation -
Cut out the flat breads into small circles according to the size of the muffin cups.
Preheat the oven to 400 °F.
Arrange the cut out flat bread circles in each of the muffin cups.
Apply pizza sauce on each of the cut out circles.
Sprinkle the veggies in each of them as well.
Finally top each of them with shredded cheese.
Bake for 13-15 min or until the cheese browns slightly.
Remove form oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes.
Carefully un-mould the muffin cups and serve it hot with a topping of crushed red pepper if needed.
