07 - Lightly brush the edges of each dough leaf with olive oil to promote browning.
08 - Bake in the preheated oven for 13 to 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges are golden brown.
09 - Allow the mini pizzas to cool slightly before serving to enhance flavor and handling.
