Equipment
- 1 non-stick frying pan
- 1 bowl
- 1 paper towel
- 1 pizza tray
- 1 baking paper
Instructions
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over high heat and cook beef mince and onion until the onion is translucent and mince is cooked. Remove to a bowl. Wipe out frying pan and cook diced bacon until crispy and drain on paper towel. Place cheese in a bowl. Prepare beaten egg.
- Preheat oven. Line a small pizza tray with baking paper and set aside. Pull off a golf ball-sized piece of dough, coat in flour and roll out to a 10cm round. Place in the palm of your hand and add 1 tsp pizza sauce, 1 tsp mince, 1 tsp bacon and 1 tbsp of cheese.
- Gather all edges of dough together and place upside down into the dish. Continue until the dish is full.
- Brush tops of all dough balls with egg and sprinkle lightly with parmesan cheese. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until dough is cooked through and tops are golden.
Notes
Tip
I have added extra oil to the pizza dough so it is pliable and soft. It needs to be stretchy so it can be pulled around the filling.
Tip
Ready-made pizza sauce comes in a squeezable bottle for ease of use. You don’t need to put it into a bowl unless you want to.
Tip
The oven needs to be very hot for these pizza balls so the pizza has a nice crust and cooks through.
