Ingredients
- ¾ lb pizza dough store-bought or homemade*
- ⅓ cup pizza sauce
- ¾ cup shredded cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, or your favorite blend)
- ⅓ cup mini pepperoni (or regular pepperoni chopped)
- ⅛ teaspoon dried basil optional
- ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees and lightly brush a 12-cavity cupcake tin with olive oil or cooking spray.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to about ¼" thickness. Cut out 12 circles roughly 3-inches in diameter. You can use a circle cookie cutter, a drinking glass, etc. Re-roll dough scraps when necessary.
- Gently press dough circles into the bottoms of the tin, going up the sides.
- Spoon about 1 ½ teaspoon of pizza sauce into each dough cup. Sprinkle with about 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese and 4-5 mini pepperonis. Top with dried basil and red pepper flakes, if desired.
- Put in oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, until cheese is bubbling and edges of dough are turning golden.
- Let cool for a couple minutes before enjoying!
Notes
- If you have a full pound of dough, you can make roughly 4 additional pizza cupcakes. Just be sure you have a bit more of the toppings!
- I like this homemade pizza dough recipe.
