How to Make Polenta Mini-Pizzas
- For the polenta: Heat salted water in a cooking pot and cook the cornflour according to the instructions on the package. Remove from heat.
- Coat an 11 x 7 x 2 inches (28 x 18 x 5 cm) baking pan with the vegetable oil using a brush.
- Transfer the polenta to the pan and evenly spread it. Bake for 15 minutes at 360⁰F/180⁰C.
- For the veggies: Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over low heat and add the chopped bell pepper. Cook and stir for 1-2 minutes. Set aside.
- Add the mushroom slices to the same skillet. Cook and stir them until they start turning brown.
- Assemble the mini-pizzas: Cut 6 polenta discs using a 3-inch round cookie cutter.
- Line a baking tray with aluminum foil and place the polenta discs on it.
- Top them with the grated mozzarella, then add the sliced mushroom on three of them and the salami slices on the other three.
- Divide the cooked bell pepper and crispy bacon between the polenta discs, top them with mozzarella, and garnish with basil leaves.
- Bake for 10 minutes at 360⁰F/180⁰C. Optionally, serve them sprinkled with some chili flakes.
