For the dough, place 200 ml warm milk, 120 ml warm water, 100 ml oil, 2 tsp sugar and 10g instant yeast in a large bowl. Mix together using a spoon.

Add half of the flour and 1 tsp salt, knead until the dough begins to form. Continue to knead, bringing in the rest of the flour. Keep kneading until you have a smooth, springy, soft dough.

Cover the dough with plastic wrap and then with a kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare your desired toppings.

Remove the plastic cover, punch the dough down and turn it out onto a work surface.

Knead for another minute so it deflates a bit. Flatten it with your hands and roll it out into a rough circle. Try not to roll too thick as it will keep rising until you put it in the oven.

With a round cutter, or a glass, cut the dough into rounds.

Lay the bases on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Do the same with the rest of the dough.

Spoon on the tomato sauce and spread over the bases evenly using a brush.

Top with the shredded mozzarella cheese, and place your desired toppings on the pizzas.

Bake in the 180°C preheated oven about 20-25 minutes.

Mini pizzas are ready to be served!
