Ingredients

Scale

Crescent Roll Dough

  • 1 can crescent roll dough

Pizza Toppings

  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup pepperoni or your favorite protein

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking the mini pizzas.
  2. Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles for easy handling.
  3. Form Crust: Press each crescent dough triangle firmly into a muffin tin cup, shaping it to form a little crust shell.
  4. Add Sauce: Spoon about a tablespoon of marinara sauce into each crust, spreading slightly but keeping it contained within the edges.
  5. Sprinkle Cheese: Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce on each mini pizza.
  6. Add Toppings: Place pepperoni slices or your choice of favorite protein evenly atop the cheese layer.
  7. Bake: Bake the assembled mini pizzas in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the crusts are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the mini pizzas cool slightly in the muffin tin before carefully removing and serving.

Notes

  • You can customize these mini pizzas by using different toppings such as mushrooms, olives, bell peppers, or cooked sausage.
  • Make sure to press the dough firmly into the muffin tin to avoid leakages during baking.
  • Allow the pizzas to cool a few minutes as the filling will be very hot right out of the oven.
  • These mini pizzas are perfect for parties, snacks, or quick meals and can be reheated easily.
