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)
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Add Sauce and Cheese: Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce evenly over each snowman shape, then sprinkle generously with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
