Let’s Make it Together
Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) while you prepare the dough. This ensures your chips bake evenly and get nice and crispy.
Prepare the Dough: Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface until it’s about ¼ inch thick. You want it thin enough to be crispy but thick enough to hold toppings.
Cut into Shapes: Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice the dough into triangles or squares—whatever floats your boat! Feel free to get creative with shapes; after all, presentation matters!
Add Cheese: Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella over each piece of dough. Make sure every corner gets its cheesy share because no one likes a sad chip!
Bake Until Golden Brown: Place your prepared dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and pop it in the oven for about 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Keep an eye on them; we don’t want burnt offerings!
Cool & Serve!: Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before diving in. Enjoy these scrumptious bites plain or pair them with marinara sauce for dipping!
These easy-to-make 2 ingredient pizza chips are sure to become your go-to snack at gatherings—or even solo binge-watching sessions on lazy Sundays. With their mouth-watering aroma filling your home and their delightful crunch satisfying every craving, you’ll find yourself making them again and again!
