Description

Delight in these fun and flavorful Deep Dish Pizza Cupcakes, perfect for a quick snack or party appetizer. Made with crescent roll dough, gooey mozzarella, savory pizza sauce, and your favorite toppings, these bite-sized pizzas bake up golden and bubbly in just under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 (8-oz) can refrigerated crescent rolls (seamless sheet preferred)
  • Cooking spray

Fillings

  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Pizza toppings (such as pepperoni, ham, sausage, peppers, onions, mushrooms)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 375ºF (190ºC) and spray 8 regular muffin cups thoroughly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Shape Dough Bases: Cut the crescent roll dough into 8 equal squares. Press each square firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared muffin cups, forming a dough base to hold the fillings.
  3. Add Cheese Layer: Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of shredded mozzarella cheese into the bottom of each dough-lined muffin cup to start your cheesy base.
  4. Add Pizza Sauce: Spoon 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce evenly over the cheese in every cup, spreading gently.
  5. Layer Remaining Cheese and Toppings: Sprinkle the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce. Then add your favorite pizza toppings such as pepperoni, ham, sausage, peppers, onions, and mushrooms as desired.
  6. Season with Garlic Powder: Lightly sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder over the top of each filled cupcake to enhance flavor.
  7. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Serve: Carefully remove the pizza cupcakes from the muffin tin using a knife or spoon; serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use a seamless crescent roll dough sheet to avoid holes in the crust.
  • Feel free to customize toppings according to your preferences.
  • Make sure to spray muffin tin thoroughly to ensure easy removal.
  • Serve as a fun appetizer or kid-friendly dinner.
  • Leftovers can be reheated in the oven for a crispy texture.
