This recipe makes two large pizzas, but you could also make small individual pizzas. In this case divide the dough into 14-15 pieces (about the size of an egg), and flatten each so they are thin and about 12cm in diameter. Remove the small pizzas from the oven after 10-15 minutes as the crust will still be soft so you can simply roll it up and eat.
