Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prepare
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin lightly with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Form the Pizza Crust
Open the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual pieces. Press each piece into a muffin cup, covering the bottom and sides to form a small crust. If needed, pinch the seams together to prevent leakage.
Step 3: Add the Fillings
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce into each dough cup.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously on top.
- Add mini pepperoni or any toppings of your choice.
- Sprinkle a pinch of Italian seasoning for that classic pizza flavor.
Step 4: Bake
Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust turns golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
Step 5: Serve & Enjoy
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes before serving. Use a butter knife to gently lift each mini pizza from the tin. Serve warm and enjoy!
