My family absolutely, positively loved the movie featuring our favorite characters—Minions © 2015 Universal Studios. All rights reserved. The Minions movie is a great film that my entire family enjoyed watching together.

The minions are so funny and whacky that we cannot get enough of their crazy antics.

Originally, we saw the Minions movie in the theater. As you can imagine, we were so excited for it to come out on DVD.

It is so easy to locate a store that sells this DVD. To find one near you, visit the Minions movie web site.

When viewing the DVD at home, we decided to have a special family movie night. I can’t think of anything that goes better with movie night than pizza.

Illumination Entertainment’s Minions movie is the inspiration for my fun pizzas.

Minions Movie Night Pizza Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 package of yeast
• 1&1/2 cups warm water
• 4 cups flour
• 2 tsp. salt
• 1 Tbsp. honey
• 1 tsp. olive oil
• Pizza sauce (see this recipe for homemade sauce or use your favorite jar of sauce)
• Mozzarella cheese
• Cheddar cheese
• 1 green pepper
• Black olives (halved, sliced and cut into strips)
• Blue food coloring
• Ricotta cheese

Instructions:

Combine the yeast and warm water. Stir until combined. Let the yeast proof for 5 minutes.

In a mixer, add the flour, salt, honey and olive oil to the the yeast mixture.

Mix until incorporated and a dough forms.

Knead the dough in your mixer with a dough hook or on a floured surface for 5 minutes.

Cover and let rise for 1-2 hours.

Once the dough has doubled in size, preheat the oven to 425.

Lightly oil (with olive oil) a baking sheet and your hands.

Take a quarter of the dough and add five drops of blue food coloring.

Work it into the dough and create a flat pizza dough.

Bake in the oven for 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Form the remaining dough into three oblong shapes.

Top with sauce, the mozzarella and cheddar.

Cut the green pepper into a round goggle. Cut two strips for the goggle band. Cut a string and leaves for the bottom. For the googles and bands, cut the olives into quarters, lengthwise. Cut thin slices for the eyes.

On each pizza, arrange the pepper pieces and olives to form minions.

Fill the goggles with Ricotta cheese. Top with a sliced black olive.

Bake for 10-13 minutes at 425.

Cut overalls out of the blue pizza dough and put on two of the pizzas.

We had so much fun making our minion pizzas. Our movie night was a great experience thanks to the hilarious new Minions movie.
