Mini Pepperoni Pizzas

Katie Albarado's answer to a weeknight with kids in the kitchen. Cut the dough into rounds and hand it over. Her note: they may not all look perfect, but they're guaranteed to taste better when little hands helped make them.

Ingredients

• 1 tube refrigerated pizza dough, or homemade pizza dough
• Pizza sauce
• Shredded mozzarella cheese
• Mini pepperoni slices
• Italian seasoning, optional
• Garlic powder, optional

Instructions

1. Heat the oven. Preheat to 425°F.
2. Cut the dough. Roll out the pizza dough and cut into small circles. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
3. Sauce. Let the kids spread on pizza sauce, leaving a little room around the edges.
4. Cheese. Add a generous handful of mozzarella.
5. Top. Let everyone top their own with pepperoni and any other favorites.
6. Season. Sprinkle with a little Italian seasoning or garlic powder if you like.
7. Bake. Bake 10 to 14 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
8. Serve. Cool a few minutes, then enjoy.
