Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 tube Crescent Roll Dough (Can substitute with homemade pizza dough)

Sauce

  • 1 cup Marinara Sauce (Can substitute with pizza sauce or pesto)

Cheese

  • 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (Other cheeses can be used for varying flavors)

Toppings

  • 1 cup Pepperoni (Can use assorted veggies for vegetarian option)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Tin: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease your muffin tin thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Dough: Unroll and separate the crescent roll dough into individual triangles, ready to form the crust.
  3. Form Crusts: Press each dough triangle firmly into the bottom and up the sides of each greased muffin cup to create a mini deep dish crust.
  4. Add Sauce: Spoon about one tablespoon of marinara sauce into each prepared crust evenly.
  5. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce layer in each mini pizza.
  6. Add Toppings: Place pepperoni slices (or chosen toppings) evenly on top of the cheese.
  7. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crusts are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove the mini pizzas from the oven, let them cool for a few minutes in the tin to set before carefully removing and serving warm.

Notes

  • You can substitute crescent roll dough with homemade or store-bought pizza dough for a different texture.
  • Use pizza sauce or pesto instead of marinara for flavor variations.
  • Try different cheeses like cheddar, provolone, or a cheese blend for unique tastes.
  • Swap pepperoni with assorted veggies for a vegetarian-friendly option.
  • Ensure to grease the muffin tin well to easily release the mini pizzas after baking.
