Why Make Tri Bell Pepper Mini Pizzas
Why mini pizzas you ask? For no other reason than they are just too cute. But seriously, these would make a great party table idea. Also great with kids. You could even get them to do their own. Kids love stuff like that. Well, not mine, but I hear other kids like making stuff with their moms. I can dream.
Everything can be made and prepped in advance
Like I said before, make the pizza dough in advance. If you are choosing to make your own pizza sauce, do that in advance as well. The sauce making does take a bit of time. I do large batches and preserve it. I normally do that 3 to 4 times a year. I should by more canning jars, because then I might just do one huge batch and be done with it for life. Okay, that might be a bit of a stretch but you get the idea. Then you are good to do.
If all else fails, you could buy dough…eek. Still, the mini pizzas are a great idea and fun to make. Because I love vegetable based pizzas, this time I went with straight bell peppers, a hint of cheese and fresh arugula to finish it off. They were delicious.
And the Pizza Pocket Bites are great as well.
