Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly oil 2 or 3 large baking sheets.
  2. Knead the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface. Roll out into a thin rectangle 1/4in (5mm) thick. Using a 3in (7.5cm) round cookie cutter, cut out 24 rounds, gathering up the dough trimmings and re-rolling as required. Transfer the rounds to the baking sheets.
  3. Spread 12 rounds with the pesto and half with the sun-dried tomato paste. Top the pesto rounds with salami, olives, and mozzarella. Top the sun-dried tomato rounds with the arugula and pine nuts. Brush with olive oil, cover loosely with a clean paper towel, and let stand for 20 minutes, or until puffy.
  4. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown. Serve warm.
Tips:
  • 3in (7.5cm) plain pastry cutter
  • freeze the baked pizzettes for up to 1 month
  • Prepare ahead: The pizzettes can be baked up to 24 hours in advance. Reheat to serve.
