Servings: 6 pizza cupcakes
Ingredients
- Olive Oil
- 1 Raw Pizza Dough, cut into 12 triangles
- 2 Cups Mozzarella Cheese, Shredded
- 1 Cup Marinara Sauce
- Crispy Cooked Bacon, Diced Ham, Diced Sausage, Diced Pineapple, Sautéed Vegetables (spinach, mushrooms, onions, etc.)
Instructions
- Put the oven rack in the middle, and preheat the oven to 500 degrees.
- Brush the inside of a cupcake tin with a thin film of olive oil using a silicone brush.
- Separate the raw dough into 12 parts.
- Roll out each part into a round disc, about 3″-4″. (If you don’t have a rolling pin, use a can.)
- Lay a disc in 6 of the cupcake spaces.
- Fill each with a heaping spoonful of cheese, a spoonful of the marinara sauce and any toppings you’re using.
- Cover each cupcake with another disc of dough. Each pizza cupcake should have a top.
- Fill the remaining 6 cupcake spaces with an inch of water (so the tin won’t burn).
- Bake at 500 degrees for 7-10 minutes or until top begins to brown.
- Let them cool and then pry out each cupcake with a plastic knife or fork.
