Now, let's dive into the step-by-step process of crafting these mouthwatering Mini Pizzas.

Preheat the Oven to 400°F

Preheat your oven to 400°F. This higher temperature ensures faster cooking and a slightly crispier texture, contributing to enhanced flavors and an overall tastier Mini Pizza.

Prepare the Dinner Rolls

Slice the King's Hawaiian Sweet Dinner Rolls in half and flatten them to about 1/2-inch thickness. These sweet rolls serve as the perfect foundation for your toppings, balancing typically savory additions with a touch of sweetness. Cut the bottom half of the rolls into individual bite-size slices.

To the Baking Sheet!

Place the rolls face up on a baking sheet, creating a canvas for your delicious selection of ingredients.

Spread a generous amount of pizza sauce on each sliced roll. The sweet and tangy tones of the sauce infuse the sweet rolls, creating a delectable "pizza crust."

Add your favorite toppings. Whether you’re going for a vegetarian pizza, meat lover’s, or margarita, each individual roll can be different! 

As for us, we prefer pizza with Hawaiian flair. Pineapple adds a tropical kick, balancing the tanginess of the sauce, while the pepperoni contributes a savory and slightly spicy punch.

Bake

Put your Mini Pizzas into the oven and let them cook for 7-8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Enjoy!

Allow the Mini Pizzas to cool slightly before serving them warm. Get creative with presentation by arranging them on a platter, garnishing with fresh herbs, or sprinkling on some Parmesan cheese for extra irresistibility.

If you find yourself with leftover Mini Pizzas, they can be refrigerated for 3-4 days. To reheat, warm them in a preheated oven for 7-8 minutes to restore that crispiness and melt the cheese. You can also use an air fryer to reheat.

These Mini Pizzas offer a delightful and interactive way to enjoy everyone's favorite dish. Whether you're a pizza purist or an adventurous topping explorer, Mini Pizzas are bound to become a staple in your culinary repertoire.
