Mini Pizzas in Cupcake Molds
Ingredients:
– 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
– 1/2 cup pizza sauce
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1/2 cup pepperoni slices or any other preferred toppings
– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1/4 tsp dried oregano
– 1/4 tsp garlic powder
– Olive oil for brushing
Instructions:
1. **Preheat Oven:** Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin or cupcake tin with a little olive oil.
2. **Prepare Dough:** Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface. Use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut out circles slightly larger than the openings of your muffin tin.
3. **Shape Pizzas:** Press each dough circle into the muffin tin, making sure it covers the bottom and sides, creating a small crust.
4. **Add Sauce:** Spoon a small amount of pizza sauce into each dough cup.
5. **Add Toppings:** Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then add your preferred toppings, such as pepperoni, mushrooms, or bell peppers.
6. **Season and Bake:** Sprinkle Parmesan cheese, oregano, and garlic powder over each mini pizza. Brush the edges of the dough with olive oil for a golden crust.
7. **Bake:** Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown.
8. **Cool and Serve:** Allow the mini pizzas to cool for a few minutes before removing them from the tin. Serve warm.
