Impress your whole family with these delicious mini pizzas made in the air fryer or oven! They come together so fast, and everyone can add their favorite toppings for a fun and healthy meal. Can be made in less than 30 minutes!

Ingredients
 

For the homemade pizza dough:

  • 1 3/4 cup white whole wheat flour, whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt

For the mini pizzas:

  • 1/2 cup tomato or pizza sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheese
  • Desired toppings

Instructions
 

  • Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Add the Greek yogurt and mix until it becomes crumbly in texture.
  • Use your hands to knead the dough for a few minutes until it starts to come together into a ball. If it still feels too dry, add 1 tablespoon of additional Greek yogurt at a time until the dough resembles a pizza dough consistency.
  • Sprinkle a little flour on a flat surface and roll out the dough until flat. I like to roll it out to about ¼ inch thickness for these mini pizzas, but you can roll it out to your desired thickness.
  • Use a circular cookie cutter or circular object such as a wide glass or mason jar lid to cut out small circles from the dough. Place the dough circles on a parchment paper-lined pan.
  • Spread a small amount of pizza sauce on each dough circle until evenly covered.
  • Add any optional toppings. Sprinkle cheese on top of the sauce and toppings on each dough circle.

To cook mini pizza in air fryer:

  • Brush the air fryer basket or tray lightly with olive oil and place dough circles on the basket. Air fry at 375° F for 5-7 minutes, or until cheese is golden brown and crust is slightly crispy. You may need to work in batches, depending on the size of your air fryer. Remove and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

To bake in oven:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until the cheese melts and the crust gets slightly brown and crispy. The mini pizzas will puff up slightly while baking and deflate once cooled.

Notes

  • The number of mini pizzas this recipe makes will depend on how thin you roll the dough and the size of your cutter. I rolled mine about 1/4 inch thick and got about 12-14 4-inch mini pizzas.
  • If you don't have whole wheat or white whole wheat flour on hand, you can also use all-purpose or self-rising flour. Just skip the baking powder and salt if you sub in self-rising flour instead.
  • You can also freeze the pizza dough circles ahead of time and then simply add the toppings and cook when ready to serve. You may need to add a few extra minutes to the cooking time if cooking from a frozen state.
  • To make these mini pizzas even more fun, you can cut the dough into fun shapes using cookie cutters before adding the toppings. Try heart, star or teddy bear pizzas!
