Instructions
 

Prepare the Pizza Dough

  • Activate yeast in warm milk and sugar. Combine with flour, salt, and knead into a soft dough. Add olive oil, knead again, cover and let rise in a warm place for at least 1-2 hours.

Assemble the Pizza Tarts

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Press dough into mini tart pans or muffin tins. Trim excess dough.

Fill the Tarts

  • In each tart shell, add a layer of cooked chicken, followed by onions and bell peppers. Top with mozzarella cheese, oregano, and red pepper flakes.

Bake the Tarts

  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Make the Cheese Swirls

  • Lightly grease a baking sheet with butter. Spoon small mounds of grated Parmesan cheese onto the sheet, creating small circles about 2 inches in diameter.

Bake the Cheese Swirls

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and lightly golden.

Shape the Cheese Swirls

  • Remove from oven and let cool for a minute. Carefully lift each cheese round with a knife and wrap it around a rolling pin or dowel to create a swirl. Allow to cool completely to set the shape.

Assemble and Serve

  • Once the pizza tarts are cool, add a dollop of mayonnaise (optional) to each tart and top with a cheese swirl. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Pizza Tarts

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in your favorite spices before cooking.
  • If you don't have mini tart pans, you can use a muffin tin instead. The tarts will be slightly smaller.
  • Feel free to experiment with other vegetables and toppings, such as mushrooms, olives, or spinach.
  • To prevent the cheese swirls from sticking to the baking sheet, use parchment paper.
