Instructions

To Make Dough

Mix all the dry ingredients and the oil in a bowl or food processor, then gradually add the warm milk a little at a time.
Knead it into a soft dough.
Dab a touch of oil all over the dough, then cover it and place it somewhere warm.
Leave it to rise to double its size, takes about 30 minutes to an hour depending on the weather.
Once ready, punch down the dough and then divide it into 18 equal balls.
Grease 24 cups muffin pan with oil or butter and set aside.
Roll each dough ball out into a circle of about quarter inch thickness, then gently place it in the cup hole of the pan, patting it gently to fit the shape.
Repeat this method with the rest of the balls.
Next, spread a light layer of pizza sauce in each cup. Then add the chicken, capsicum and onions.
Sprinkle some cheese over the filling and drizzle some ketchup over the top of each cup.
Top with olives and herb seasoning.
Allow the pizza cups to rest and rise for 20 minutes, then preheat the oven at 180 degree C.
Bake them for about 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the dough is cooked through.
Remove the pizza cups from the pan and allow them to rest on a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
Delicious Mini Pizza Cups are ready to serve. Enjoy!
