These homemade mini pizzas are perfect for little hands to pick up and hold! They can easily be customized with different toppings for a variety of textures and tastes!
The base of these mini pizzas is a 2-ingredient dough that consists of only self-rising flour and Greek yogurt. They are a great meal to make with your little ones and are great to reheat and pack in lunchboxes!
WHAT YOU’LL NEED
Here is what you’ll need to make these homemade mini pizzas:
- Self-rising Flour: The main base of the dough. If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt!
- Greek Yogurt: Makes the dough soft and pliable, making it easy to roll out.
- Pizza Sauce: You can make your own pizza sauce or use a jarred one. I love using the Rao’s brand pizza sauce!
- Mozzarella Cheese: I used whole milk mozzarella cheese, but you can use a part-skim version as well.
- Toppings of choice!
PROCESS
- Add the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt to a bowl and mix it 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.
- Sprinkle a little flour on a surface and roll out the dough. I like to roll it out thin for these mini pizzas, but you can roll it out to your desired thickness.
- Use a cookie cutter or circular object 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.
- Sprinkle a small amount of cheese on top of the sauce on each dough circle. Top with optional toppings.
- Bake at 450 degrees F (232 degrees C) for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese melts and the crust slightly browns. The mini pizzas will puff up while baking and deflate once cooled.
STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
Let the mini pizzas completely cool and store them in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. To freeze, store in a freezer-safe Ziploc bag for up to 2 months. To reheat, bake for a few minutes at 350 degrees F until warmed through. You may also microwave the mini pizzas for 20-30 seconds, but the crust may become a little soggy.
SUBSTITUTIONS
- Self-rising flour: If you do not have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining 2 cups of flour, 3 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt and mixing it until it is well combined. Once combined, you can measure out 1 and ¾ cups of that mixture to combine with the Greek Yogurt to make the dough. You may use the same method with whole wheat flour.
- Greek yogurt: The Greek yogurt may be replaced with an equal amount of unsweetened coconut milk yogurt.
- Cheese: For a dairy-free version, substitute the cheese for dairy-free shredded cheese.
RECIPE NOTES
- This recipe makes around 24-30 mini pizzas (depending on the size you make each circle). You may make larger-sized pizzas by adding a few more minutes to the total bake time.
- I love using the Rao’s brand pizza sauce. It has natural, clean ingredients and tastes great!
- The mini pizzas puff up a lot while baking but shrink back down once they cool.
- Get creative with toppings! I love topping them with mushrooms, bell peppers, pepperoni, chicken, and more! Get your kiddos involved with making them and let them customize their own pizzas for fun creations!

I haven’t made this recipe yet but I’m going to tonight. Finding you has made me so much more confident in feeding my baby healthy meals! Thank you so much for all of your hard work! I LOVE your cookbook!
I’m so glad to hear that you’ve been finding the site help and hope that you love the cookbook as well!😊
Hi there, I tried this recipe tonight with my 8 month old. I prepared them earlier in the day and reheated in the oven at dinner time. They ended up becoming quite hard and she struggled with biting pieces off. Do you think I may have overworked the dough or heated them too long? I did about 3 minutes in the oven. Do you think microwaving them would be better since they should be softer that way? I tasted one after the initial bake and thought they would be fine for her so I suspect the issue was in my reheating. I may freeze them and save them for when she has stronger chewing skills. Thanks for the great recipes.
Hi Kylie! I’m so sorry that happened! It likely is due to reheating, you can definitely reheat in the microwave and they will come out softer and should be fully reheated in only a few seconds. I hope that helps!😊
Excited to try this recipe! Could sour cream be subbed in place of greek yogurt?
Hi Jennifer! Greek yogurt and sour cream are usually interchangeable in many recipes, but I don’t have experience with using it for this dough, so I’m not too sure how it would turn out. Would love to know if you give it a shot!
I used this recipe for my picky 3 year olds who would mainly eat pizza and out of all the recipes I’ve tried this one came out the best. My boys love it
I’m so glad to hear that your little one enjoyed these, Rachel!😊
My daughter loves these pizzas, I usually put black olives, onions and red peppers on them and freeze most of them. However I’ve noticed after I defrost them in the microwave (just enough to warm them-about 40 seconds) the bottoms of the crust are hard to bite through. I can’t figure out how to prevent the crust from getting hard, do you have any ideas or do you think some types of bread/crusts just do that after being frozen?
Hi Rebecca! If you own an air fryer, I’d recommend reheating in the air fryer instead! If not, you can also reheat them in a pan on a stovetop over low heat (adding a few drops of water to the pan and covering it until heated through) and this should help with the texture of the dough😊
My 15 month old LOVES these pizzas! I’ve been making them for a few months and I love them too because I freeze the whole batch and defrost a couple for an easy meal when I don’t know what else to make. I ate one too the first time I made them too make sure the dough was done in the middle and they are good! I’ve never had this kind of dough before but it tastes good and I love that is has protein from the Greek yogurt.
I’m so glad to hear that your little one enjoyed these pizzas! Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, Rebecca!😊
Just made these again for the first time in a while. Always so good and worth doubling the recipe to keep some on hand in the freezer! A favorite of my picky two year old!
I’m so glad to hear that you enjoyed them, Karlie!😊
Are their measurements for flour and baking powder instead of self rising flour??
Hi Anastasia! If you do not have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining 2 cups of flour, 3 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt and mixing it until it is well combined. Once combined, you can measure out 1 and ¾ cups of that mixture to combine with the Greek Yogurt to make the dough.
Tried them for the first time for my 12 month old and she loved it. I was a bit skeptical because either was tough the dough after kneading but came out great! Made my own pizza sauce as well since didn’t have any in house.
question: I didn’t use all the dough, can I store the unused pizza dough in the freezer until ready to use again? if yes, is it 2 months as well for storage? to thaw I’m assuming just take out the night before probably. appreciate your assistance in advance! love your page!
Hi Jen! I’m so glad to hear that your little one enjoyed them! Yes, you can freeze the dough and store it in an airtight, freezer-safe container or Ziploc bag for 2 months. You can let it thaw in the fridge overnight or on the counter until it is soft and pliable again.😊
These came out so good. added some garlic butter to crust before baking, but other than that followed the recipe exactly. Went with cheese only as the tester but will definitely make again with more toppings. As of right now my picky 3 year old who asked me to make them hasn’t tried them yet….but hopefully he will
I’m so glad to hear that you enjoyed these, Jhan! I love the idea of adding some garlic butter to the crust!😊
