Mini Snowman Pizzas Recipe

Introduction

These Mini Snowman Pizzas are a fun and festive treat perfect for winter gatherings or holiday meals. Easy to make and adorable to look at, they combine classic pizza flavors with a playful snowman design that kids and adults will love.

Ingredients

• 1 can refrigerated pizza dough
• 1/2 cup pizza sauce
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 small carrot, peeled
• 4-5 black olives, pitted

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Step 2: Unroll the pizza dough. Use two different-sized round cookie cutters to cut one larger circle (body) and one smaller circle (head) for each snowman.
3. Step 3: Arrange the dough circles on the baking sheet, with the smaller “head” slightly overlapping the larger “body.”
4. Step 4: Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over each snowman shape and sprinkle generously with mozzarella cheese.
5. Step 5: Finely chop the black olives for the eyes and buttons. Cut a tiny, thin triangle from the carrot for the nose. Carefully place these decorations on the cheese.
6. Step 6: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown. Let cool for a minute before serving.

Tips & Variations

• Use whole wheat or gluten-free pizza dough to suit dietary preferences.
• Swap black olives for peppercorns or small pieces of black beans for eyes and buttons if preferred.
• Add small pieces of bell pepper or cherry tomato for a colorful scarf decoration.

Storage

Store leftover mini snowman pizzas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes to keep the crust crisp. Avoid microwaving as it can make the crust soggy.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I make these mini snowman pizzas ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the pizzas up to the point of baking and keep them refrigerated for a few hours before baking. Just add the toppings just before baking to maintain freshness.

What if I don’t have cookie cutters?

You can use a glass or a small bowl to cut the dough into circles. If you don’t have two sizes, cut freehand smaller circles for the heads and larger for the bodies.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Pizza Base

• 1 can refrigerated pizza dough

Toppings

• 1/2 cup pizza sauce
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 small carrot, peeled (for the nose)
• 4–5 black olives, pitted (for eyes and buttons)

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and to ensure easy cleanup.
2. Cut Dough Shapes: Unroll the pizza dough on a flat surface. Using two round cookie cutters of different sizes, cut out one larger circle for the body and one smaller circle for the head for each snowman.
3. Assemble Snowmen: Arrange the dough circles on the prepared baking sheet with the smaller circle slightly overlapping the larger one to form the snowman shape.
4. Add Sauce and Cheese: Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce evenly over each snowman shape, then sprinkle generously with shredded mozzarella cheese.
5. Decorate Face and Buttons: Finely chop the black olives to create the eyes and buttons. Cut a tiny, thin triangle from the peeled carrot to use as the nose. Carefully place these decorations on top of the cheese to give your snowmen personality.
6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the crust is golden brown around the edges.
7. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the mini snowman pizzas cool for a minute before serving to allow the cheese to set slightly and prevent burns.

Notes

• You can substitute the black olives and carrot with other veggies or toppings to customize your snowmen.
• Make sure the carrot nose pieces are very thin to bake evenly and not become too hard.
• To add extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of Italian seasoning or garlic powder before baking.
• Use fresh pizza dough if preferred, but adjust bake times as needed for thickness.
• Mini snowman pizzas are ideal for kids’ parties or holiday appetizers.
