  • 1 cup pizza sauce canned

    1 cup pizza sauce

NOTES

1. Substitutions
  • Toppings - With pizzas, you can vary the type of toppings. Also, consider salami, bacon bits, sun-dried tomatoes, bell pepper cubes, and corn kernels.
  • Italian herbs - They are a good substitute for chives. Sprinkle it on the pizzas before baking.
2. Oven - When you use a conventional oven, set the temperature to 430 °F (ca. 221 °C). In a convection oven, 400 °F (ca. 204 °C) is sufficient.
3 Storage
You can prepare the pizzas well by storing them in an airtight container for two days after the first round of baking. Did you bake them with topping? Then save them like this:
  • Refrigerator - Put the Christmas pizzas on kitchen paper and keep the pizza covered in the fridge for three days.
  • Freezer - Place the pizza on kitchen paper and then wrap the pizza in two layers of plastic wrap or a freezer box. This way, it stays good in the freezer for up to two months. Then, let it thaw in the refrigerator.
  • Reheat - Bake the mini Christmas pizzas in a preheated oven at 350 °F (ca. 177 °C) for 5 minutes. You can also use a frying pan with a lid. This will take about 3 to 4 minutes until it is warm.
