Ingredients

- Pizza dough – roll out refrigerated (like Pillsbury) is best

- Olive oil

- Pizza sauce – store bought or make your own

- Mozzarella cheese

- Mini pepperoni

- Italian seasoning – optional but I really like to add it

How to make Pizza Cupcakes

Use a pastry brush to brush the inside of each cupcake cavity with oil. You want to see a little bit of oil pooling in the bottom. Not lots but enough that we will get a few crispy areas during baking.

Add the pizza crusts to the prepared cupcake tin. Then add a little bit of cheese in the bottom, topped with sauce, then topped with more cheese, then pepperonis on top. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning if using.

Bake at 400°F for 13-15 minutes. For my oven 13 minutes in a good amount. The edges should turn very golden brown and the cheese will begin to bubble. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before removing from the pan. Serve warm.

Notes

- If you want to use other cheeses anything that melts can work. Sometimes I will sprinkle on a little Parmesan cheese during the last couple minutes of baking.

- If you want to add other toppings beyond pepperoni feel free.

- The recipe card amounts below will make 12 pizza cupcakes in a standard size muffin pan.
