Ingredients For Mickey Mouse Homemade Pizza Recipe
- warm water 110 degrees F.– Warm water will help activate the pizza dough.
- active dry yeast– Active dry yeast is used to make breads and doughs. Find it in the baking section of the grocery store.
- granulated sugar- Just a touch of sugar is added to the dough.
- all-purpose flour– Flour is the main dry ingredient in the pizza dough.
- extra virgin olive oil– The olive oil is added to the pizza dough as part of the wet ingredients.
- kosher salt– Kosher salt is a coarse salt commonly used in cooking and baking.
- garlic salt– Lawry’s is my favorite brand of garlic salt.
- prepared pizza sauce– Use your favorite brand of garlic salt.
- pepperoni’s, regular and mini– Regular size pepperoni’s will make up the face and the mini pepperoni’s make up the ears.
- shredded mozzarella cheese– Shredded cheese is topped on the pizza.
How To Make Mickey Mouse Homemade Pizza Recipe
- Place warm water, yeast and sugar into bowl of a stand mixer with dough hook attachment attached. Mix gently then let sit until doubled in size, about 5 minutes. With mixer on low, add flour, olive oil, salt and garlic salt. Scrape sides of bowl and let mixer knead dough for 5 minutes. Dough should have the sides of the bowl cleaned. Add sprinkles of flour or water if needed to get the bowl cleaned while kneading. After 5 minutes of kneading, remove dough from mixing bowl with floured hands (put a small amount of flour in your hands and rub together), and transfer to a floured countertop. Fold dough over itself a couple times then form into a round ball.
- When ready, remove about 1/2 cup of dough for each “Ear” pizzas. Place largest piece dough onto the first pizza pan, pressing to a 10 inch round. Place the smaller pieces of dough onto a second pizza pan, pressing to 4 inches round. Spoon pizza sauce over dough leaving a 1 inch border around edges. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and pepperonis plus mini pepperoni’s to make the “Ears”. Bake in a preheated oven at 400 degrees F. for 15 minutes, until crust is cooked through. Remove and let cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
When spreading the pizza sauce over the pizzas, be sure to leave a 1 inch border around edges to keep it from sliding over the edges.

Top with shredded Mozzarella cheese and arrange the Hidden Mickeys pepperonis over top. The kids will have a blast seeing how many they can count up. If you’d like, you can brush the crust edges with olive oil and sprinkle with Parmesan Cheese. You can see in the photo below how it looks.
Bake for about 15 minutes, until cheese is melted and crust is baked through. Enjoy! The olive oil gives a little color and the Parmesan Cheese around the edges give some texture and cheesy taste to the crust.
How To Serve Homemade Pizza Recipe
Serve the pizza with a nice chopped salad, maybe some breadsticks and marinara too. Hope you enjoy!
