Mini Pizza Cupcakes

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Mini Pizza Cupcakes.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C) and give your muffin tin a light coat of cooking spray to prevent sticking.

2. Step 2

   While the oven warms up, finely chop some vibrant cherry tomatoes and drain any excess liquid—set them aside for later.

3. Step 3

   Next, on a floured surface, unroll your pizza crust and roll it out into a thin rectangle.

4. Step 4

   Grab a 4-inch round cookie cutter and cut out eight delightful circles from the dough.

5. Step 5

   Gently place each dough circle into the greased muffin cups, pressing them down to fit snugly at the bottom and up the sides.

6. Step 6

   Now, let’s build those mini pizza masterpieces! Start by adding a teaspoon of shredded mozzarella cheese to each cup, followed by a tablespoon of zesty pizza sauce.

7. Step 7

   Sprinkle in the chopped tomatoes and some diced red onions for a burst of flavor.

8. Step 8

   Top it all off with another tablespoon of mozzarella cheese and a few quartered pepperoni slices.

9. Step 9

   For that extra kick, sprinkle on some Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and a dash of garlic salt to taste.

10. Step 10

    Pop the muffin tin into your preheated oven and bake for about 14 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden.

11. Step 11

    Once they’re out of the oven, let the mini pizza cupcakes cool in the tin for about five minutes—this will make them easier to remove.

12. Step 12

    Serve them hot, and get ready to enjoy a delicious bite-sized treat that’s perfect for any occasion!.
