Method

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a sheet pan with foil or parchment.

  2. 2

    Split the English muffins in half and arrange them cut-side up on the sheet pan (or lay small flatbreads flat).

  3. 3

    Spread a thin, even layer of pizza sauce on each half, leaving a small border around the edge so it doesn't spill over when baked.

  4. 4

    Sprinkle mozzarella evenly over the sauce, then let each kid add their own toppings of choice so every mini pizza is customized.

  5. 5

    Bake for 8–10 minutes, until the cheese is fully melted and bubbling and the edges of the muffins are golden and crisp.

  6. 6

    Let the pizzas cool for 1–2 minutes on the pan before serving, since the cheese and sauce will be very hot right out of the oven.
