Savory Pizza Muffins Made from Pizza Crust
Everyone loves muffins, and everyone loves pizza. So why not combine the two and create muffins out of light and crispy pizza crust? With this very simple recipe, you can!
Ingredients:
- 1 large frozen pizza dough ball, brought to room temperature
- 2 cups of any kind of pizza sauce
- 2 cups grated mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup chopped pepperoni
- ½ cup finely chopped green pepper
- ½ cup sliced mushrooms
- ½ cup bacon, crumbled
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
- Break off a small ball of the dough from the larger pizza dough ball. Flatten it slightly between your hands, or roll out on a floured work surface. Place into one of the muffin cups and continue with the rest of the dough until all 12 cups are filled. Make sure that you press down into the bottom of the dough, so that the sides come up slightly to form a mini-bowl.
- Spoon two to three tablespoons of sauce on top of each piece of dough. Then sprinkle about one tablespoon of each topping onto the sauce.
- Place into the oven and bake for about 15 minutes, until the dough is just beginning to firm.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle each tin with about two tablespoons of cheese. Place back in the oven and bake for about 10 more minutes, until the cheese is completely melted and the crust is completely golden brown and firm.
You can serve these warm out of the oven or at room temperature. Either way, your customers will love them!
