Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 1 can crescent roll dough
Sauce
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce
Cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Toppings
- 1/2 cup pepperoni slices (or your favorite protein)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking the mini pizzas.
- Prepare Crescent Roll Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles as indicated on the package.
- Form Dough Cups: Press each triangle into the cups of a standard muffin tin, shaping them gently into deep-dish cups with the point in the center overlapping slightly.
- Add Sauce: Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of marinara sauce into the bottom of each dough cup.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce in each cup.
- Add Toppings: Place a few slices of pepperoni or your preferred protein on top of the cheese in each mini pizza.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven, allow to cool for a few minutes, then carefully remove each mini pizza from the muffin tin and serve warm.
Notes
- You can customize the toppings by adding vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or olives for added flavor and nutrition.
- If you prefer a crispier crust, bake the dough cups for 2-3 minutes before adding toppings.
- Use low-moisture mozzarella for best melting results without excess water.
- These mini pizzas reheat well in the oven or microwave, making great leftovers.
